I use Lovable to be a better product person, not a bad dev

Chatting with Rodrigo Subirá and Adrianno Esnarriaga, I reached a conclusion I didn’t know how to put into words before… I use Lovable because I want to be a better, more autonomous product person, not a bad dev.

Me using Cursor and making engineering decisions would be much worse than letting Lovable decide for me. As a dev, I’m excellently crappy. So it’s better to leave that to AI, or to other, better devs. :)

I want less of an IDE and more of an “integrated productization environment” — an IPD? Maybe.

PS: I know this acronym is already used for other things

I translated it into English with the help of AI (Claude): it let me bring my LinkedIn posts to people who don’t read Portuguese without rewriting each one from scratch. I reviewed the translation to keep my original meaning and tone.
