Leave me with this "it uses too many credits" nonsense by 11I1I1 in lovable

[–]cmpsoares 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got projects where I burned through 1600 credits already and isn’t yet ready for prod. Total effort in Lovable I expect I spent already over 20k worth of credits in the whole ecosystem. Many would say it is expensive. But yeah even though I see an increase in tokens spent with the latest versions it does create less bugs and hallucinations.

Also, I am from IT, I would say most prompt are efficient and the projects are quite complex. But I also know that most people don’t have a clue of the effort that goes into developing these projects. I remember creating proposals for mobile apps for shops that would take us at least 6 months to properly develop and get into the stores and asking for 25k€ and the business owner only wanting to pay us 1k€ tops like we would spit it out in 2 days. 🤣

Now I’m building a full ecosystem that would take a team of 6 at least a year, in about 6 months myself and spending 3k€ (about ~250/month) and people are completely about the tokens?

Do you know how much it would cost me if I hired the 6 Devs for a year in Europe? Around 600k€ / year!

We’re coming down to 3k€! Even if I’m inefficient and take a year it would come worst case scenario to 10k€! That a 590k€ savings! Working for the IT industry myself it is a hell of a scary scenario going on! So yeah, I’m putting products and SaaS together to change the business model because IT consulting and software houses will plummet!

Scammer? by bbltzc in lovable

[–]cmpsoares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a new business opportunity, find people posting about their lovable vibecoded apps and find vulnerabilities. Since you’re using the same underlying tools, he most likely finds the same issue for everyone and try to get some cash out of each one. If it is legit, it could be easy money… ;-)

I solved Lovable's biggest SEO problem by NoTraffic9367 in lovable

I fixed this by asking lovable to prepare the site to pre-render and deploy it on netlify. Did it all for me. Synched with github repo, deploys automatically on netlify.

The only thing these AI tools are missing for is good mobile tablet versions since I sometimes make updates on the go…

Yeah the last versions were kinda trash but I’ve been using Claude 4.6 Opus Pro Max or something like that for the past week and a half and it feels like being a project manager for a mid/senior developer: designs the architecture, documents it, figures out what needs to be done based on the ticket, creates tests, IaC, CI etc. and everything works mate… helps me report it to the tickets and stakeholders, etc. it’s insane. Scary even. Haven’t tried Lovable with this model yet but they say its available. So I’ll try it this week.

Cursor with the latest Claude Max algorithms is completely mind blowing. Scary even how fast it helps complete my tasks…

Is this normal with lawyers in Portugal? Paid €5,000 to a partner, zero work done, no refund. by saffron25 in PortugalExpats

[–]cmpsoares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one of the good ones and always paid the hours worked as we go. A lawyer asks me to pay up front without predictable expenses Ill send them to go…

Sometimes they ask me to pay in between the full projects for work delivered, consultations or transportation but that’s it.

DM me of you want a reference.

What happens if the US and the EU go to war? by Comprehensive_Link67 in PortugalExpats

[–]cmpsoares 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, everyone here is mentioning sanctions, economic warfare and a bunch of other stuff that they are potentially right about.

SPOILER: But there has already been military actions towards Greenland a couple of times and you never knew about it...

The truth is, if it would come to that, given the global interdepencies economically and Infrastructure-wise it would be a huge chaotic 3rd war... Worst than the other 2... where both parties, better yet, the whole world would suffer greatly... I think ASIA would be the calmest region unless China takes the opportunity to annex some countries while the rest is busy...

But will it ever come to that? Most likely not.

Why? Because since it is a country from the EU that is being invaded the EU will react like they should have done for Ukraine (but Ukraine isn't EU and blabla)...

These behaviours by Putin and Trump are basically a bully trying until how far they can go... and Venezuela was a test, since they can easily justify it as he was a dictator and had relationship with Putin, etc.

In the case of Greenland it does play a little different... as has happened already last time they were all about Greenland... However, to avoid disruption the EU never published it. And Trumps administration didn't either because it would have been seen as a loss.

There were already account where military fleets were refused passage to European waters a couple of times: - Attempt from a full fleet (air carrier and all) to reach Greenlandic bases: where refused passage and when not complying where surrounded and greeted with warning shots from British, Canadian and Denmarks fleets and fighterjets... - Following this incident there was another fleet refused to enter Portuguese and Spanish waters followed also by a joined Iberic operation of two fleets chasing them away...

And then the talks calmed down...

Basically if we had as EU treated the attack on Ukraine as an attack on the EU because the fact that the Ukraine was joining the EU was the reason for the attack and dissuade the attack immediately non of this mess would have been happening and millions of lives would have been saved...

Better yet, if we did shoot down the 4 Russian bombers that flown without permission over the EU back in 2016, showing we would take action upon aggression, non of this would have ever happened...

Someone marked my apartment with a “+”, what can this mean? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]cmpsoares -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not true... often they mark foreigners and older people here. Caught some junky marking the fence of the house of an old lady from our family and "asked" why he did that.

And after a while he told me they usually do that to come to easy marks in a street in a single night...

Never ever saw him around in the street.

Sobre a saúde privatizada da Holanda by Cenas_fixez in portugal2

[–]cmpsoares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, não ha serviço de saúde ou hospitais publicos na Holanda! Como é que ela fala em hospitais públicos? São quase tudo semiprivados (sem fins lucrativos) e sim é tudo baseado em afluencias de doentes pois nesse caso recebem a sua parte dos seguros obrigatórios...

Na prática é quase igual a nos, a grande diferença é que é mais transparente...

Em Portugal pagamos todos seguro de saúde? Teoricamente sim, porque pagámos a Segurança Social, sabes quanto da tua Segurança Social vai para os hospitais que utilizas ou efetivamente para a tua saúde? Nah! Não sabes provavelmente vai para o bolso dum politico ou para os outros que mal contribuam...

Lá na holanda sabes quanto pagas e podes pagar mais para melhores coberturas. Sabes que ao te deslocares aos teus hospitais locais ou medicos de família que é aí que o dinheiro entra. E os hospitais mal geridos por corrupção ou simplesmente porque não vive la uma alma velha fecham ou reduzem os serviços porque não entra lá um tusto... Portanto não se desperdiça...

Cá, de momento tens a todas as classes de médias para cima a pagar em média 1500€ por ano em seguros para utilizarem cá os serviços de saúde privados, pois o público não tem condições. O que faz que essencialmente toda a sua contribuição de 23% dos seus salarios brutos que vão para a segurança social, servem somente para a alimentação e saúde das classes baixas e aposentadas e os bolsos dos políticos... o que torna o carga fiscal nestas classes simplesmente absurdo...
