Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.

I have a novice programmer friend who created an app with authentication with AI. It used create-react-app (deprecated for years now) and had him roll his own OAuth layer manually with Express. When you refresh, you get logged out.

It's an awesome project to learn some skills, but only a seasoned programmer would know to never roll your own auth, or to not use CRA, etc.

We are in for some interesting times.
