"I Gave 3 Developers $1,000 to Build the Same App in 48 Hours"

Open with dramatic setup: "I just gave three developers the chance to earn $1,000. They have 48 hours to build the same app. Winner takes all."
Quick cuts showing all three contestants at their workstations
On-screen text: "$1,000 on the line | 48 hours | 3 methods"
Narration: "One's coding from scratch. One's using Lovable. One's using Dyad. Only one will actually finish... and I'm betting you can't guess who."

Introduce the three contestants:
- Developer 1: Traditional coder, 5+ years experience
- Developer 2: Lovable user, AI builder enthusiast
- Developer 3: Dyad user, believes in open-source flexibility
Reveal the app challenge: "Build a fully functional task management app with real-time collaboration"
Show requirements on screen: user auth, real-time updates, mobile responsive, deployment ready
Rules: 48-hour countdown starts NOW

Traditional Coder: Show overwhelming setup - installing dependencies, configuring backend, database setup
- "12 hours in and he's still setting up authentication..."
Lovable User: Fast initial progress, UI looking clean
- "Lovable guy is crushing it with the interface"
- Show smooth AI-generated components
Dyad User: Methodical approach, switching between AI models
- "Notice how he's using Claude for the complex logic, then switching to GPT for the UI tweaks"
- Highlight: "This is the freedom Dyad gives you - not locked to one AI provider"

Traditional Coder: Hitting bugs, spending hours debugging
- Show frustrated coding sessions, Stack Overflow searches
- "The traditional approach is brutal when you're on a deadline"
Lovable User: THE PAYWALL MOMENT
- Show credit depletion notification
- "Wait... he just hit the credit limit?"
- Contestant visibly stressed: "I need to pay more to keep building?"
- Show the lock-in problem: can't export code easily, can't switch tools
- "This is what lock-in looks like in real-time"
Dyad User: Steady progress, no interruptions
- "While Lovable guy is dealing with credit issues, Dyad user just keeps building"
- Show model switching: "Having issues? Switch to a different AI model. No extra cost."

Traditional Coder: Realizes he won't make the deadline
- "36 hours in and he's not even halfway done"
- Show him calculating: still needs database optimization, deployment, testing
Lovable User: App looks good but functionality breaking
- Trying to add custom features but hitting platform limitations
- "The UI is beautiful, but he can't implement the real-time collaboration feature"
- Show attempted workarounds failing
- Credit meter climbing: "Another $50 just to iterate..."
Dyad User: Feature-complete, starting refinements
- "While others are struggling with basics, Dyad user is polishing the experience"
- Show: exporting code, running locally, customizing beyond what AI generated
- "Because it's all local, he owns every line. No platform holding him hostage."

Traditional Coder: Attempting to salvage something demoable
- Working through the night, cutting features
- "He's had to remove half the requirements just to finish something"
Lovable User: Decent app but not fully functional
- Can't deploy without staying on the platform
- Real-time features broken
- "The app looks good in Lovable's preview... but that's not the same as a real deployment"
Dyad User: Deployed, tested, adding bonus features
- "Not only did he finish early, he added features that weren't even required"
- Show: proper deployment, real-time working flawlessly, mobile responsive
- Testing across devices, everything working

Demo time for all three contestants
Traditional Coder: "I have about 60% of the features working..."
Lovable User: "The UI is done but the backend isn't fully connected, and I'd need to keep paying to maintain it..."
Dyad User: Full live demo, everything working
- Multiple users collaborating in real-time
- Mobile + desktop working perfectly
- "And here's the kicker - I own all this code. I can take it anywhere, host it anywhere, modify it however I want."

Reveal: Dyad user wins $10,000
Show final comparison chart:
- Time to completion: Dyad 42hrs | Lovable 48hrs (incomplete) | Traditional 48hrs+ (unfinished)
- Total cost: Dyad $8 in API fees | Lovable $120+ in credits | Traditional $0 but failed
- Ownership: Dyad full ownership | Lovable locked-in | Traditional full ownership (if finished)
- Functionality: Dyad 100% | Lovable 70% | Traditional 60%
