My friend's vibe coded vercel site got hit by Meta for 21 million page views in 2 days. It cost him over $300. My self hosted compose stack running in my basement with two 9's of uptime was a 1 time cost of $600 between cat6e, refurb mini PCs and tons of time prompting for NixOS flakes that met my needs. I'm not sure who came out ahead.
