Growth comes from loops, not funnels.

Most products obsess over user acquisition.

More traffic. Better conversion rates.

Turns out, growth often comes from something much simpler.

Moments. Retention. Care.

Joining and learning about PH after 10 years in marketing – what did you learn recently?

10 years ago, when I started in marketing, I had never heard of Product Hunt.

Today I m here and honestly, I feel like a newcomer trying to find my way among people who build and launch world-class products. What I genuinely love so far is how open and supportive this community feels. It s a beautiful ecosystem to witness.

I burned 15B tokens in 3 months. Had nowhere to record it—so I built one.

Hey everyone

No CS background. Started vibe coding 3 months ago.

16+ hours daily. 15 billion tokens later I'm still learning.

I was using a Claude Code leaderboard service made by another dev.
Submitting my daily stats became my end-of-day ritual. It was my fuel for vibe coding.

The layoff wave and how we can move past the fear

Many people have told me that being part of Gen Z comes with advantages we have time, energy, and plenty of opportunities to shape our careers in the AI era. And I do feel lucky to have grown up with technology, to have had early exposure and opportunities to learn and explore it.

But the AI era feels different. The shift is not only new, it s happening at lightning speed. Before I ve even fully adapted to working with AI, we re already seeing waves of layoffs where human roles are being replaced or reshaped by AI systems. And honestly, that creates uncertainty and anxiety not just for me, but for many people around us.

n8n is up for an Orbit Award in the AI Workflow Automation category!

If you are using n8n, you probably stopped thinking about it at some point. It just runs. The workflows, the glue code, the stuff that would be painful to rewire if it disappeared.

We want the real stories here. What is n8n handling for you today? What did it replace? What breaks if you turn it off?

Vibe coding stack

Vibe coding is about moving fast from idea to production without getting stuck on infrastructure.

A simple stack that works well:

  • Frontend and Backend: @Google Antigravity, @Cursor, @Claude Code

  • Databases and RAG: @Pinecone

  • Cloud and DevOps: Bult.ai

  • LLMs: @OpenAI, @Google Gemini, @Hugging Face, @Ollama

Bult.ai handles deployment, infrastructure, SSL, domains, scaling, and CI CD, so you can focus on building the product, not managing servers.

According to the joint statement, these models will help power upcoming Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri, expected later this year.

Terminal features you wish you had for AI development

Hey,

Since I started heavily using agents with CLI products, I've been super frustrated with Terminal. And looking at other options they mostly felt bloated and lacking features I wanted to make multi-agents piloting easier.

Updating your mindset is just like updating a product

There s one thing we re really good at as builders:
we constantly try to improve our work and our product every single day. But an honest question I often ask myself is: do we put the same effort into updating ourselves?

At Murror, we re a small team of around five people.
For me, it s important not only to improve the product, but to continuously update my mindset, skills, and learnings and share them openly with the team.

I try to communicate everything I learn, ask questions, and clarify problems as much as possible, so the product we re building becomes better, clearer, and more convincing for our users.

To do that, I try to practice a few things consistently:

Things that make a good difference at a launch on Product Hunt

Whenever I browse product launches, I somehow subconsciously judge not only the product itself and its quality, but also the quality that is reflected in the effort the makers put into preparing it.

It may sound insignificant, but in my case, these things also make a significant difference:

  • Icon GIF at the launch it enlivens the overall impression and is dynamic

  • Quality graphics and video

  • First, a properly filled-out comment

  • Photos in the makers' profiles (it's less trustworthy for me when there's only the letter "J" or something similar)

  • Whether any of my contacts or acquaintances on the platform reacted to the launch

What made you choose the company/product you’re building today?

At the beginning, my reason was very simple: I needed a job and I genuinely liked the product.

I graduated with a Marketing degree, but I never felt like I belonged in agencies or similar environments. It just wasn t for me. At the same time, I didn t have much experience in tech either. So I took a leap of faith and applied for a Customer Support role, almost blindly.

The early days were tough. I had no technical background, no real understanding of how apps were built, and everything felt overwhelming. But the product itself became my motivation. I started from the most basic things: learning simple technical terms, understanding how an app is structured, and slowly exploring how everything works behind the scenes.

What new job position rise do you see in upcoming years?

LinkedIn officially shared the job titles that started appearing more often, and with the rise of AI, the market is restructuring.

The actual top 10 roles that have seen the biggest rise in listings (in the U.S.) are:

  1. AI engineers Engineers developing and implementing AI models that perform complex tasks

  2. AI consultants and strategists - Helping organisations plan and implement AI technologies to improve operations

  3. New home sales specialists Which sounds like a rebranding or real estate agent

  4. Data annotators Labelling and reviewing data for AI projects

  5. AI/ML researchers Designing new AI models and systems

  6. Healthcare reimbursement specialists Ensuring healthcare providers are getting correct and timely payments

  7. Strategic advisors and independent consultants Which seems like a pretty broad-ranging segment

  8. Advertising sales specialists You re reading a marketing blog, I assume you know this one

  9. Founders Not sure this can be listed as a job title in itself, but LinkedIn s keen to highlight how people are shifting to their own businesses

  10. Sales executives

Why vibe coding fails (and how to make it actually work)

Most people love vibe coding until the app grows.

At some point, prompts stop being enough and everything starts to break:
features clash, logic leaks everywhere, and just ship it turns into rewrites.

Every AI builder eventually hits the same wall:

the AI builds fast, but it doesn t understand the product.
