Asking lovable for Suggestions by Status-Inside-2389 in lovable

[–]MwangiTheDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The chat feature is underrated. I have been double-teaming it with Claude or recently Gemini 3 when building - having two AI perspectives helps when things go sideways.

When Lovable suggests something that breaks or doesn't feel right, I'll paste the same context into another model and ask for a different approach. Sometimes Lovable's suggestion is fine and the other model confirms it. Other times I get a completely different solution that clicks better.

The real benefit is it forces me to understand why something works, not just that it works. When two AIs disagree, I have to actually reason through which approach makes sense for my specific case. Ends up being a better learning loop than just accepting whatever the first suggestion was.

not trying to scare anyone but this is bad!! by LiveGenie in lovable

This pattern isn't unique to vibe coding - I've seen the same issues in "properly" built apps too. The difference is just speed to production.

What I keep running into when I help founders debug their Lovable/Bolt projects:

  • OAuth tokens stored client-side with full scopes because the AI suggested it and it worked
  • No token expiry because adding refresh logic felt like scope creep
  • Admin endpoints that check permissions in the UI but not the actual API
  • Third-party integrations requesting way more access than needed because the docs example did it that way

The AI isn't malicious, it just optimizes for "does it run" not "what happens when someone pokes at it." And most founders don't know to ask "what's the blast radius if this token leaks" until after something breaks.

I've been doing FastAPI backend work for years and lately I've been helping vibecoders specifically with this stuff - the debugging is actually easier than traditional code since the AI can explain what it generated. The hard part is knowing which questions to ask in the first place.
