shadcn: AI will eat through dependencies — build your own internal open-code registry
shadcn · x · 2026-10-17
shadcn/ui creator shadcn argues that AI is eating through our dependencies: teams will rely on fewer and fewer external codebases, and you'll want an internal "open code" registry not buried inside nodemodules, from which agents pull and reshape code on demand.
His takeaway: "Less code reuse. More knowledge reuse." The reposter adds: build your own shadcn registry, even if you have to go into debt.
