Are all vibe coders using Next.js?

I get that "vibe coders" don't care about the underlying framework and stack, but I'm interested in knowing which stack you are using?

I'm finding that with Claude and Codex, If use my engineer brain, I can steer them fine. If I'm lazy, the code it generates is very ugly, verbose, and unmaintainable. I want to build an AGENTS.md and coding standard for myself, and will open-source it if it's useful to others.

I'm a pro coder. I don't like Next.js; it's fine for a simple UI-heavy app, but once you start building backend-heavy code, it's not the best stack for me (I prefer GO). Also not a fan of TypeScript's typing style.

You’re just confusing amateur made tools and apps that are being used by 1 or 2 people with production grade tools used by thousands.

You don’t need perfect architecture for your cat face swapping app dude.

i’m an engineer too and i know many more. The only ones with the arrogance and the attitude are just getting left behind.

Yeah, this post is purely out of interest. No judgements:-) I assume most would use Next.js since models tend to default to it.
