01 / evaluation

If it had to read the entire conversation and the entire stream of requests that you made, developing anything viable or large would be impossible because it's just like consuming a lot of time and a lot of memory and a lot of tokens.

Maybe I can go on Mobbin, maybe I can go on Dribbble, maybe I can go wherever, get a good screenshot, get a good animation and attach it," because most of these tools accept files as a part of the input.

Yeah. And then even deeper than that is like, once you go through this conversation, you're like, "Okay, let me eliminate myself again completely out of the equation because I won't remember to prompt you better two days from now.

05 / belief

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.

08 / belief

The other point you made here that I think is really important is that over time, these tools will do more and more of what you do manually.

10 / prediction

" So I think there's just an evolution that's coming really, really fast. But a lot of people are scared when I'm just super excited because don't you see our roles are finally going in a direction where we're outsourcing what we hated doing anyways, right?

You maybe do one or more two prompts to calibrate it. And when you're like, "Okay, the winner is here," at that point I either ask the tool that I'm using, or I'll maybe let's say go to ChatGPT or whatever and ask the LLM to produce a series of PRDs.

In the third one, I'm using an external tool as a facilitator, which is like, I'll either connect to Codex and chat with Codex to then fix the problem in Lovable.

I'm using it today, to bypass the shortcomings of human nature and LLMs, but I'm optimizing 100% of my time today on good judgment, clarity, quality, taste, good copy, good fonts.

16 / recommendation

The hostings, the security, the email, the connectors, the APIs, the whatnots. So I think there's going to be room for it, but I'm also on the boat of people like, if I had an 18-year-old brother and he asked me what should I do, I would tell him, "Hey, go become a plumber.

17 / evaluation

You did not give enough context to Lovable what to observe and what to see. So it can't see that the problem exists because Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, you name it, all of these tools are good enough today to fix any problem they're aware of.

Most people optimize for the wrong one. That's the first lesson that I learned literally on day two, because I came into Lovable, that was my first exposure to this.

19 / observation

They're going to tell you that they fixed the problem, even though they didn't. They're just going to try to make you feel happy and say, "Yes, I found what the problem is and I fixed it," when a lot of times when they don't, people blame the machine.
