The Breakpoint [2025-10-21] - On context engineering
Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.
The latest
Recent dev-first products launched on the site
@Cal.com announced a new holding company, coss.com, and launched a UI component library
@OpenStatus is an open-source uptime monitoring platform with elegant status pages

How do you approach Context Engineering?
English might become the world's fastest-growing programming language, and prompting? A core skill. In this thread, Ashok brainstorms strategies for managing context to guide better AI outputs.
Above all? Filter out the noise. Start small by including the most relevant elements, then refine to your needs.
The job board
Recent dev-first products launched on the site—that are actively hiring. No affiliation, most of them are hiring across the board.

This was a great read. The point about English becoming the fastest-growing programming language really stuck with me.
Also curious to try TinyFast; anything that makes local dev smoother is worth a shot.
Love seeing so many developer-first tools popping up lately.
