    Lovable, Bolt and v0 are a disaster for MVPs (a small rant)X post

    A founder came to his studio after spending over US$2,000 on Lovable credits with an unusable prototype. He sees screens built before the backend, fixes that break other parts, and data that does not save once real users sign up, and keeps the tools to showing an idea fast.
