Learn to Own Your Stack.Are developers wasting money on Lovable when they're already paying for Claude or ChatGPT?<br />In Episode 2 of Geeks Do Byte, Rayen takes aim at the growing vibe coding culture and questions why developers with programming experience are paying for AI application builders instead of taking control of their own infrastructure.Lovable is a fantastic starting point for non-developers. But if you already know how to code, do you really need another subscription deciding your tech stack?We're talking Docker, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, API architecture, authentication, Supabase dependencies, AWS, Cloudflare, and the hidden costs of building applications you don't fully control.Ryan breaks down why starting with local development, understanding your infrastructure, and making deliberate technology choices could save you serious money as your application grows.The question: Are you building a scalable software business, or just stacking subscriptions until your app becomes too expensive to run?No AI hype. No unnecessary complexity. Just real developer opinions.🎙️ Geeks Do Byte — Real code. Real conversations.
