Why Sticking with Your Trusted Coding Agent Beats Switching to a New Sandbox

Lovable, Bolt, and v0 ship an MVP in an afternoon. That part is real — type a sentence, get a working preview, deploy to a public URL, send it to a friend. For the first hour of a new product, nothing else is faster. The browser-based preview, the one-click deploy, the undo button that actually works — these are genuine wins, not hype.

The trouble starts at hour four.

That's usually when someone on the team says "okay, now wire up auth," or "we need this to actually use our Postgres schema," or "can we ship this to the App Store?" That's the moment the preview window stops being enough. You click "Export to GitHub," and what lands in the repo is a flat tree of generated files — no convention, no tests, no hook into the agent you already use.
