With AI, everyone is building their own solutions and apps to solve their everyday personal and professional problem. I feel that, still today, developers have an edge because they follow the DevOps process by planning/creating a PRD and understanding what the architecture is. If something breaks (which it often does) they know how to fix it; on the other hand, non-technical folks ask Claude to fix it without knowing what is happening.

They do not test, and all they hope is for Claude to fix everything for them.

I have been doing vibe-coding for a while, building CRMs and apps to boost my professional productivity without having to invest a lot of money in subscriptions. Do you feel that generating the code is just 20% and has been simplified today? However, planning, designing, wireframing, managing changes in code, testing and maintaining it in deployment still remains a challenge.

I tried Lovable, as many people recommended - I personally do not see any value, as it locks me in one interface and, at the same time, charges me extra for sending additional prompts to Claude working behind the scenes.

Can you share how you are managing this today?
