Vibe coders celebrate 30k LOC Rails blogs and 8-container analytics stacks. I built Kaunta — one Go binary, 15MB — because I needed to count pageviews, not run Kafka. The industry of bloat is real, and it's getting louder.
In March I shipped Kaunta as a Go binary. It is Rust now, in the same repository, on the same database. The port was cheap because the logic already lived in PostgreSQL. What changed is who owns the layers underneath.
A country where no citizen has ever felt a constraint. The dev box has 128GB, the model never says "this is too much," and the cloud bills instead of refusing. Then it ships to a 2GB server. On languages as materials, and the 100x receipt that proves nobody measured anything.
