Lately I've been thinking "there is no such thing as an application, there are only screens" in the context of HTMX-enhanced web applications.

If your persistence layer and long-term data structures are solid you can accept shoddy coding in screens (e.g. a small bundle of http endpoints.) From that viewpoint you modernize an application a screen at a time and if you don't like a shoddy screen you create a new screen. From that viewpoint you vibe code screens but schemas and updating are carefully handwritten code, though I think deterministic code generation from a schema is the power tool for that.
