Could you give more context about what Vercel features you need - is the site statically generated, or do you also need Vercel Functions?

There are several European based alternatives to Vercel. It's also worth having a read through or posting to !web_hosting@programming.dev

Though that quote is followed by this, which indicates at least five of those vulnerabilities were real:

I searched the Linux kernel and found a total of five Linux vulnerabilities so far that Nicholas either fixed directly or reported to the Linux kernel maintainers, some as recently as last week:

Your comment reminded me of this article, The Software Quality and Productivity Crisis Executives Won’t Address, which discusses the lack of technical leadership when it comes to tackling technical debt, and that the solution is usually a rewrite.

Instead, most organisations don’t tackle technical debt until it causes an operational meltdown. At that point, they end up allocating 30–40% of their budget to massive emergency transformation programmes—double the recommended preventive investment (Oliver Wyman, 2024).

I have noticed the repository lacks CONTRIBUTING.md. If you want to set some rules about contributing, I would have added them there, instead of creating a Markdown file specific for agents. I'm very much of the philosophy that you should write documentation for humans, which has the added bonus that it will also be consumed by agents.

It's definitely got the worst defaults compared to the alternatives.

pnpm, Bun, and Deno have all made better choices about their defaults. pnpm blocks postinstall scripts, Bun requires explicit opt-in for them, Deno’s permission model is restrictive by design.

I agree but it depends on how teams create and refine their tickets. For example, you could have high level tickets, and someone picks one up and creates an implementation that's not an appropriate fit for your architecture.

Thank you for not assuming my motivations. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "oneshotted"? I share a lot of articles, so I'm not surprised you recognise my username.

I don't specifically seek them out. I follow quite a few different programming blogs, and I am just sharing what people are posting about, and it just so happens a lot of people are posting about this topic.

Headless does not mean “no screen anywhere.” It means you are not required to use the company’s app or site to finish the job.

You might say: “Book a flight and a hotel in Tokyo.” A helper (with hooks into services, e.g. MCP or other agent APIs) talks to airlines and hotels for you. You might never see their homepage or their “join our club” popup.

Whilst I can see where the author is going with this, I can't see some tasks, particularly booking concert tickets, being done by AI agents. Whilst it may be convenient for end users, it's also open to exploitation by scalpers.

Looking at the credits at the bottom of the site, it was built by someone whose first language appears to be Italian.

When did we start judging developers on their graphic design skills? 🤔
