What is the rationale for using vercel ? I'm getting a lot of value out of cloudflare with the $5/month plan lately but my bare metal box with triple digit ram has seen zero downtime since 2015.

The internet does that but it feels different with this

You use a free template that's done in Next.js and uses its Image component, so you need a server. Everything runs fine locally until you try to deploy it, and bam you need 4g ram machine to run the thing. So you host it on Vercel for free cause it's easy! Then you want to check for more than 30 seconds of analytics, and it's pay time.
I am not following the logic. If you’re a hobbyist, sure. But the argument is if you’re using Vercel for production, you’re paying 5-10x what you’d pay for a VM, with 4gb. So then what’s the rationale? You can’t be a hobbyist but also “it’s pay time” for production?

It's a good point, but I don't think the problem here is Claude. It's how you use it. We need to be guiding developers to not let Claude make decisions for them. It can help guide decisions, but ultimately one must perform the critical thinking to make sure it is the right choice. This is no different than working with any other teammate for that matter.
I think most people would agree. However it is less clear on how to do this, people mostly take the easiest path.

That's the irony of Mythos. It doesn't need to exist. LLM vibe slop has already eroded the security of your average site.

It's interesting how many of the low-effort vibecoded projects I see posted on reddit are on vercel. It's basically the default.
I’m no security engineer, but this is flatly unacceptable, right? This feels like Vercel is covering its own ass in favor of helping its customers understand the impact of this incident.
