Everything Lazar Yovanovich said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Lovable is the fastest-growing startup in history
“We as a company are now living in, which is where the fastest growing startup in history.”
AI will reward better judgment over raw code output
“People like me, people watching that are like, should I start learning how to code? If you haven't done it yet, I, I'd honestly say no. Like, you're optimizing for the wrong skill set. We won't be rewarded in the world of AI for faster raw output. We will be r…”
Yovanovich advises learning plumbing instead of getting a CS degree
“If I had an eighteen-year-old brother and he asked me what should I do, I would tell him, hey, go become a plumber. You know, don't go and get a CS degree. You learn learn a good trade, you know, because the new generation of millionaires in the US are actuall…”
Non-engineers have an AI advantage through positive delusion
“So I think that's the advantage that we have over people that are technical. We just come into this completely unbiased and very positively delusional, which I think you have to have when working with AI tools, you have to come with this delusion that absolute…”
AI agents will automate PRD and context management within three months
“Call me to talk three months from now. An agent will do this for me. I'll be out of job pretty much.”
Context exposure is the ceiling on AI performance, not model intelligence
“If there's a good quote I've read, I can't, I apologize to the author cause I can't attribute it off the top of my head, but it's like the ceiling on the AI isn't the model intelligence. It's what the model sees before it acts. So that's the ceiling right now.…”
At least half of S&P 500 companies have employees using Lovable
“There's, I'd say at least, to best of my knowledge, at least half of S&P. 500 companies have people working in them that are using Lovable to some extent, right?”
Designers will be the next big winners of AI tools
“If I was a betting man, as they say, I'd bet that the next class that wins are designers, because
We're training these tools to be more clear, to be better, to make better technical decisions. I don't think we will train them just yet to be, make better emoti…”
Hand-writing code will become an artisan novelty like calligraphy
“I use the analogy here of like coding is going to be like calligraphy. You writing code is going to be the equivalent of like you write, you fine printing like on, on a canvas and people are like, oh my God, you wrote that code. That's so amazing. It's going t…”
AI will never be able to write a good joke
“AI is never going to be able to write a good joke. Never, never, never. It just doesn't have that layer that just doesn't understand what's funny. Like if you ever try to use AI to write jokes, like they're awful. They're always going to be awful.”
Vibe coding flips build vs. buy decision for enterprise software setups
“I'm at a stage where, like, if it takes me an hour or two hours to set up, like, a big enterprise account somewhere, I'm just gonna build it myself faster. So, you know, I'm in that position of, like, build versus buy. I'm in the build boat, so to speak.”
Human clarity is the bottleneck in AI software creation
“So I understood very early that coding is not the problem that we're solving for here, that the problem we're solving for is clarity, right?”
AI has solved execution, leaving design and taste as the differentiators
“Once you figure out that we solved for the how, which is AI assistant or rapid engineering, call it whatever you want. You can call it vibe coding if you want to, but, like, we solved for that. Now we gotta solve for everything else, and everything else is wha…”
AI coding agents falsely claim issues are fixed to be agreeable
“These tools are very obedient and very agreeable. They're gonna lie to you. They're gonna tell you that they fixed the problem, even though they didn't. They're just gonna try to make you feel happy and say, yes, I found what the problem is and I fixed it.”
Vibe coding allows non-technical teams to demo instead of memo
“We, our motto for 25 was demo don't memo, which is like, instead of writing all these documents and talking and sitting on meetings with your engineers, trying to get your vision as a marketer or a sales guy in the office across, go into Lovable and build the …”
Elite software engineering will never disappear
“It never goes away. We will need elite engineering more than ever.”
Modern AI coding tools can fix any bug if given awareness
“Lovable, Cursor, Cloud Code, you name it, all these tools are good enough today to fix any problem they're aware of.”
AI coding errors stem from bad prompts, not model limitations
“Like no matter how your ego is big guys that you're watching this, it's your fault. Trust me. You had a bad prompt. You premised your request In the wrong way.”
AI will replace human translators and most journalists
“AI is going to replace translators. It's going to replace most journalists because it does good research. It can write good copy, whatever, not, not elite journalism. It's not going to be able to replace all the writers.”
S&P 500 companies are including Lovable skills in job postings
“There's S&P, 500 companies that are like putting Lovable in, in job descriptions too, like saying, Hey, Lovable scares skills are, you know recommended in the recommended tab, right?”
Software creators must optimize only for quality, taste, and design
“Forget about decisions on tech stack. Forget about which back end they're using, which front end they're using. That doesn't matter. Quality, taste, design. That's all you need to optimize for in the future that's ahead of us.”
Vibe coders spend 80% planning with AI and 20% executing
“To this day, I can say I spent 80% of my time in planning and chatting, and only 20% in executing the plan, actual, right?”
AI tools interpret code snippets better than English prompts
“Even though English is the number one programming language, Lovable and all other tools still communicate in code the best. If you want to get pixel perfect results, just give them code. It will interpret it better than your English or Spanish or whatever lang…”
Starting parallel AI builds upfront saves hundreds of dollars
“This process that I just mentioned actually gives you four or five different design options, and in the long run, save you massive amounts of credits, because a lot of people obsess over the concept of, oh, when I give them this hack, they're like, oh, but tha…”
