With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

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.

Claude is genuinely impressive, but it doesn t remove the need to understand programming fundamentals. You still need to know how systems connect, where data lives, how state is managed, what environments are (dev vs staging vs production), how deployments work, and how things actually run (& fail) in the real world.

For developers, Claude is an incredible accelerator. For non-programmers, it can feel magical at first, but at some point, real engineering knowledge becomes unavoidable.
