alt Hacker NewsHonestly I hope agentic AI ushers in a new age of minimal-SBOM software. I myself am moving all of my projects towards nearly 100% vanilla where possible. For example, golang. Why use [insert web framework] when you can just use vanilla for 99% of web apps?
There's something really satisfying about a go binary with minimal dependencies running in a busybox docker container.

Wouldn't that be worse? With dependencies, it's at least possible that someone else has audited the code, but with a vibe-coded from scratch app, it's definitely totally unreviewed.
That must be why so many vibe-coded UIs have awful UX (terrible contrast, too small fonts, everything gets its own colors, no attempts at standardized behaviour)
Frameworks and ORMs were the pre-agentic AI "iron man suit".
I'm quite liking how good Claude Code Opus is at Rust + sqlx (raw SQL with type safety) + actix-web.
Rather than have complexity centralised and managed, let's generate the same vulnerable code across millions of apps. Great plan.
