Less, But Lovable

Last week I found myself deep in the weeds of the new Ampersand website…

building in Lovable, layering CRM, CMS, discovery-flows, team-cards with QR codes. It felt like a creative spree: everything seemed possible.

But mid-week I realized I was clearly scattering my attention across four distinct projects: Customer Relations, Content Management, Project Management, Business Operations, and the public ThinkAmpersand.com site itself.

At that moment I paused.

I forked the work.

I restored the architecture of one thing done well instead of many things half-done. To each project, its own Lovable space and subdomain.

That moment echoed a larger truth: we live in an era where tools like AI make doing more effortless, even seductive.

Doing more isn’t the same as doing what matters better. In fact, when everything is possible, nothing is essential.

Consider the announcement from OpenAI and AMD: a multi-billion-dollar agreement to deploy six gigawatts of AMD GPUs starting in 2026.

The scale is dizzying.

When compute becomes essentially unlimited, the question stops being “Can we build it?” and becomes “Should we build it?”

🛠 Tool

❤️ Lovable.dev

I’ve mentioned Lovable before, but it’s time to give it credit again. It’s quietly become one of the most essentialist tools in my stack.

Lovable lets you build, fork, and scale interconnected projects that all seamlessly talk to the same Supabase instance/project. In other words: everything that needs to stay connected, stays connected and everything that doesn’t, gets its own space.

It’s the rare platform that makes doing less actually feel like progress. Clean, modular, focused and fast enough to remind you why clarity is the real superpower.

Every system wants to grow.

Every project, every platform, every idea.

But growth isn’t the same as progress.
