The biggest mistake I did in 2025 was picking shadcn because it was so hyped. Saw it importing from radix anytime you enter a command. First red flag. Then I saw the radio component. Second red flag. You should see what they've done with the select component. But we were too far into the deadline for a project with running targets. So I just gave up and asked copilot to make the changes for me, and I'm not a fan of AI anything.

Funny enough we did a POC for the same project before that without shadcn and looking back, it's so much leaner and easier.

I might just break one night and redo the whole ui library with vanilla html elements.
