The same user who posted this (Henrik501) also posted a comment two days ago (their only HN comment so far) praising the Lovable team for their incident response:

And now this post with an exaggerated title. Seems like they're shilling and trying to make Lovable sound like a product with such huge traction that it "even brought Github down". They keep making outlandish claims on social media too, like reaching $4m ARR in 5 weeks etc. This company is very suspicious.

The same username on Github follows only one person, Niklas Vatn, who appears to be a lovable employee. https://github.com/Henrik501?tab=following

Looking more into it, Henrik Westerlund works on "growth" at lovable (via LinkedIn) and posted Lovable to Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/@henrik_westerlund. So it appears they are shilling.

Pathetic company built on lies and shady "growth hacks"

>praising the Lovable team for their incident response

For 8 hours, no one is aware the service is down. It then takes ~3 more days to fix it. One of their first decisions is to 'make as much noise as possible on social media' (?), and every step seems to create additional problems (corrupt repos etc.) Nothing appears to be well thought out, the blog post reads like they weren't ready for this at all, panicked and chaotic decisions without understanding the tech stack on a deeper level (race conditions, rate limits etc.) Not a lot of confidence in the team behind a project that looks like nothing more than a glue between an LLM and a storage backend.

I like that HN is so minimal, but obvious stuff like this makes me want to write a browser extension that lets me custom tag accounts for my own notes.
