Today, I was cleaning up a vibe-coded project in NextJS, with a custom hook for validating and handling Form Submission, i.e., useForm . Form works? Yes, but only for small forms. Is it maintainable? Might be. Is it scalable? No. For complex forms, it was giving an error related to rendering, I failed to fix the issue I tried for an hour to untangle the spaghetti, but failed.
