i wrote about this a few weeks ago. inside the tech bubble we’re debating who replaces whom, while most people are still figuring out where to start. people are building their apps on lovable and turning them into businesses. we keep talking about who wins the existing market and underestimating how many people are about to enter it.
being contrarian is good. being contrarian and right is even better.
when i said “non-engineers will build quality software,” people looked at me like i was crazy.
i hear brian at airbnb got the same reaction to “strangers sleeping in your home.”
the best ideas often sound wrong before they become obvious.
craft, design, interfaces, the details, customer support. how much care you put into the product. and of course distribution at a bigger scale.
it’ll be an interesting period. what we’re already seeing with teams using lovable is how empowering it is to solve problems creatively with software designed around how they work. they can rethink the way they do things, then build something that fits their team.
@davidetedaldi when an app is good, people rarely ask who wrote the code. they trust it because it solves their problem. now it’s being built by someone who’s spent years dealing with that problem professionally. that depth of understanding counts for a lot, in my view.
@alphabatcher deep knowledge of the problem is part of that trust layer, i think. i’d trust an accountant building accounting software to know whether it actually does the job.
I lead security at @Lovable. We’re making it possible for millions of people to build and operate software, and my team’s job is to help make sure that builders have tools to secure their apps and protect their customers.
Our approach starts with providing the agent with secure building blocks (login, access controls, secret management). After that, every app is scanned for security issues for free before publishing.
An AI-powered fix for all findings is also within a button click, with no cost. It’s possible to enable auto/fix mode which will automatically mitigate any discovered problems.

We’ve been offering free security tools since 2025, and we’ll keep investing in making them better and easier to use. I strongly believe that making security accessible is what leads to making software accessible. We’re committed to both.
I wrote more about how we’re approaching this and what we’re building next: https://t.co/BoIuOstuDV
At @Lovable, we reduced realtime data transfer from an estimated 40 TB to 1.11 TB per month.
@AtaMarzban94 built the core in just 40 days.
Really cool engineering story.
