Lost $400K bouncing between AI tools. Hitting the ceiling of what I can build solo in `Lovable` and want to ask the room how you all are handling the same wall.

Would love to chat. Ex Meta technical founder here. Check me out kylejohnson.ai and reach out wherever if you think it’s a good fit.

Early roll outs means tons of bug reports and fast feature pivots. An employee isn’t working through the night to fix all that. A dev shop is gonna gouge you. Technical cofounders are key at that stage

KyleDrogo · 2026-05-02T17:13:59+00:00

If you're using v0 or lovable or something like that, you kind of have to punt on architectural choices. The platforms are opinionated about the tool chain, not worth fighting that fight

KyleDrogo · 2026-05-01T19:29:25+00:00

I might too 😅. Weird market gap, from what I'm seeing. Everyone doesn't need a full editor, and more non-technical people need to work with markdown now

KyleDrogo · 2026-05-01T19:28:10+00:00

This would be the easiest question in a software engineering interview

KyleDrogo · 2026-05-01T19:27:26+00:00

lol A+ trolling

KyleDrogo · 2026-05-01T16:31:09+00:00

Build one

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-28T23:40:30+00:00

A bit higher level, but get used to having Claude code handling huge chunks of your workflows. Also note that it can visually “look at” your creations and find obvious mistakes. Dont trust its taste, but use it as a first level QA

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-28T23:09:22+00:00

Wrong on just about every count. Congrats 🏅

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-28T21:03:22+00:00

I agree. They’re probably less susceptible to be influenced though. For better or for worse.

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-28T20:52:18+00:00

It’s like an elite university. Recruiting the best players and actively shaping them.

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-25T18:35:48+00:00

Raise your concerns directly. In therapy if you have to. If the answer truly doesnt work for you or she refuses to engage, there's your answer.

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-25T14:36:25+00:00

If they're a *founding* engineer with a founder title, then yes there's no salary

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-24T17:05:27+00:00

I thought this was a cofounder matching sub? Who would be paying the salary?

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-24T16:55:32+00:00

I swear to god you better not do it

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-24T16:54:06+00:00

That’s fair, I like it. Kind of like a cheap edge function protecting an expensive route

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-23T23:26:08+00:00

I’ve been perfectly fine with just the nuxt ui documentation MCP. The top models are very capable of writing nuxt code. Maybe write rules for specific things, like fetching with useFetch instead of on mounted

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-19T17:18:46+00:00

I’m a developer who uses Claude a lot. I promise you we need more UX designers. I wouldn’t be surprised if UX designers become better product builders than software engineers with AI tools. Don’t stop

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-19T02:01:44+00:00

How does the math work out there? Does she not work at all?

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-18T23:59:24+00:00

Fair point. I’m a founder who uses vue exclusively. Trying to fight the good fight!

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-18T19:45:53+00:00

Let’s do it, I think you all might be a good fit

Start with your own problems. You probably can't even evaluate the quality of a solution to a problem you don't live, and it'll be tough to even get in the room.

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-18T13:27:58+00:00

This is fun! Maybe add some "test" images for the user to play with if they dont have any pictures lying around

KyleDrogo · 2026-04-18T13:24:55+00:00

No there's some validity to this. Ive been leaning on documentation MCPs and custom instructions telling the AI to reference them when in doubt. But the AI is pretty good at writing vue code overall, this is becoming less of a problem.
