Lazar Jovanovic: belief

Transcript context

…Let me actually follow that thread because that's such a good point. And something that when we were chatting earlier, you pointed out your feeling is it's actually an advantage to not have a technical background when you get into this space. Yeah. Yes. I honestly feel that it is because people like me don't know that they are not supposed to be building X, Y, Z. And that's how we actually are able to build it. Let me give you an example. Six, seven months ago, somebody in our community was like, "Oh, I wish Lovable can build Chrome extensions." And then folks that are not technical were like, "Well, why is that not possible?" And then people that are technical start explaining to you, "Oh, well, it's React, it's different stack, it's this." And people like me, including myself, would just go into Lovable and like, "Build me a Chrome extension based on this app." And I was able to do that with Lovable. There were people that were able to build desktop applications on Lovable. Again, something that shouldn't be possible, it simply is. Our community manager with me, at one point, she was building this presentation deck for something. She's like, "Wouldn't it be cool if this was a video?" And then she just prompted her way into generating an actual video inside Lovable before that was available. Now that's a feature. Now you can prompt Lovable to do it. But back in the day when she did it, even I thought it was impossible. I never tried it. So I think that's the advantage that we have over people that are technical. We're just coming to this completely unbiased and very positively delusional, which I think you have to have when working with AI tools. You have to come with this delusion that absolutely everything is possible until proven wrong. And that's just the pursuit that I have in my mind that has helped me, among other things that we'll chat today, I think to excel in this role that I have at Lovable. Two of the, I think, concerns maybe traps people that don't have a technical background fall into in theory, one is if you get blocked, it's not obvious how to solve a problem. And two is just, are you building this teetering slop that will collapse someday because you don't know system architecture, you don't know if this is going to scale, those sorts of things? So coming back to what you've learned about how to be successful and build successful products, talk us through just things you've done and things you've learned for how to avoid those sort of things and what you do when you get stuck as one example.…
