Using a framework gives you some assurance that the underlying methods are well designed. If you don't know how to spot issues in auth design, then using an LLM instead of a library is a bad idea.

I agree though there's many non-critical libraries that could be replaced with helper methods. It also coincides with more awareness of supply chain risks.

I think this is a subtle but important point.

If you use a well regarded library, you can trust that most things in it were done with intention. If an expectation is violated, that's a learning opportunity.

With the AI firehose, you can't really treat it the same way. Bad patterns don't exactly stand out.

Maybe it'll be fine but I still expect to see a lot of code bases saddled with garbage for years to come.
