“name one successful company that where their product was built by lovable name a single one now maybe there's a bunch of people using their own recipe app that they built with Lovable can you name a single company.”
Vibe coding produces MVPs, not scalable businesses — nobody has named a single company built on Lovable
Seufert challenges the vibe coding hype with a simple empirical test: name a successful app company whose product was built entirely with AI coding tools. The result is silence. The breakouts still come from people with product intuition, code experience, and figured-out distribution — the same ingredients that always mattered. The tools accelerate, but they don't replace the underlying judgment.
