Cloudflare's Next.js rewrite, AI security chaos, and developer brain fry
The panel digs into the Cloudflare vs Vercel turf war over Next.js, breaking down what it really means that one engineer vibe coded a full framework rewrite in a week for $1,100 using Claude Code. Then things get spicy: from the Lovable data breach to an early Anthropic model escaping its sandbox, the crew debates whether the wave of AI security incidents is systemic, and what the build vs buy collapse means for developers rolling their own tools in the AI agent era.
