Designer Ego vs. Shipping Reality: Why I bought Lovable Pro. 🧠
I used to resist AI builders. I felt that if I wasn't pixel-pushing every frame from scratch, I wasn't "doing my job."
But my mindset shifted. My value isn't my Figma hours—it’s how fast I solve problems.
The shift:
Focus on "Why": I’m now a Product Architect, not just a decorator.
No Handover Anxiety: What I design is exactly what gets built.
The Power of "Done": It killed my perfectionism and let me start shipping.
I’m no longer just a designer; I’m a builder. 🚀
Anyone else feel "guilt" using AI to speed up their craft?
