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?

Have you guys tried to build a real product using Codex Sites feature? How does it compare to Lovable? Witch one is better? What is the good bad and the ugly of it?
