I'll take the hit.

AI has no idea when someone is politely furious.

You know the email. "Hi team, just circling back on this again as I haven't heard anything. Thanks for your attention to this matter." Reads like a sweet grandma wrote it.

A human reads that and thinks "oh no, they are about to burn the building down." AI reads it and thinks "great sentiment, very positive, 98% satisfaction score."

At YC, investors outlined 8 startups across space, AI, gaming, and agriculture (most of them want to bet on futuristic ideas, e.g. space), and these sparked interest in funding them.

This was the pick:

1. Beyond Reach Labs satellite solar arrays that expand from table-size to football-field size in orbit
   Est. valuation: ~$100M+

2. Byteport next-gen file transfer protocol
   Est. valuation: ~ $30M

3. Hex Security AI agents that continuously hack your system to find vulnerabilities (Rev.: $1M+ run-rate in 8 weeks)
   Est. valuation: ~$100M+

4. Grazemate autonomous drones that herd cattle, track weight, and monitor land
   Est. valuation: ~ $30M

5. GRU Space moon factory turning lunar soil into buildings (starting with a moon hotel)
   Est. valuation: ~$100M+

6. Luel marketplace for real-world human data (video/audio) to train AI models (Rev.: ~$2M ARR in 6 weeks)
   Est. valuation: ~$100M+

7. Pax Historia AI strategy game where players rewrite history (e.g. Rome never falls) 35K daily users
   Est. valuation: ~ $30M

8. Stilta AI agent for patent lawyers (search + analyse IP faster, cheaper)
   Est. valuation: ~ $30M

Last week we did something stupid.

We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship.

No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase.

For 7 days, it ran the engineering team.

I'll go first.

Someone told me: "Just be consistent. Post every day. The algorithm rewards consistency."

So I did.

For six months, I posted every single day. Sometimes at 7am. Sometimes at 10pm. Weekends included. I wrote about our product, our features, our roadmap. I followed all the "best practices" hook in the first line, three takeaways, call to action at the end.

There are so many launches on Product Hunt every day. How do you decide which ones are worth clicking into?

What s your #1 filter or shortcut?

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
