... keep seeing posts about some secret growth hack that supposedly saved a product, but when you look at what they actually did, it's usually pretty basic stuff. Answering support messages talking to early users writing useful posts instead of pushing generic promos. sometimes it feels like calling it a "hack" just makes people look for shortcuts instead of doing the boring work consistently. has anyone actually found a real growth shortcut, or does it usually just come down ... ... doing the basics

... There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here. But I still see some makers missing the very basics. It got me thinking about putting together an "essentials package" of things that, in my opinion, every maker should have in place before deciding to launch their product on this platform. My Product Hunt launch essentials would include the following (these should be done before launch, btw): a properly filled-out profile a finished landing page ... ... this essentials package that I'm missing?

... value. I think the balance usually comes down to giving users a complete basic experience for free, but keeping convenience and advanced features as premium. In my case working around anime users, I ve noticed people stick when the core experience is simple and useful first. Things like easy access, clean UI, and smooth playback matter more initially. For example, setups like Anilab focus on that basic

... After years of testing APIs across fintech, gov, and internal platforms, I keep seeing the same pattern: Most API bugs are not complex. They re boring HTTP basics that teams quietly forget. A few examples I see again and again: Missing auth returns 403 instead of 401 so clients debug permissions instead of authentication Unsupported HTTP methods return 200 so people debug payloads instead of the method Non-existent endpoints return 200 so monitoring shows everything is fine while users ...

... stuff, run stuff, and copy-paste stuff, and it mostly works. ( businessinsider.com ) Excuse me? Hearing this from Karpathy, of all people, made me spit out my coffee. This wasn t some randos chasing clout; this was a respected expert basically saying he stopped carefully coding and just vibed it out with AI. I was equal parts horrified and intrigued. Surprise: Karpathy s on Board (Wait, What?) My surprise only grew as I dug deeper. It turns out Karpathy had fully ... ... projects. In fact, he bragged about vibe coding an entire iOS app in Swift (a language he hadn t used before) in about one hour ( x.com ). One hour! As someone who remembers spending days learning Python basics

... reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen. I am not very technical (know some coding/programming basics), but without the help of a tutorial or ChatGPT, I would hardly build a whole project. Question not only for developers (but also tech newbies): What was THE FIRST THING YOU VIBECODED? Feel free to share the link ... ... from Viktoriia (@virtualviki): My first vibecoded project turned into an actual product a productivity app called SelfOS.

... Recently I've worked with a group of non-corders trying to "vibe code" their apps with AI. While knowing code is clearly not a must these days, it helps to get technical. People who were familiar with basic software engineering concepts were 10x more likely to success and get better results. So, with the hope of providing value to the non-coders people, I've created a quick roadmap for the basic

... inputs (garbage in, garbage out), and keep learning the hard stuff ('cause AI won't do it for you). Comment from Ernest Sebastian(@xebastian): My take on this is actually 2-fold, let me take you back to the BASIC times, ADA etc... People strived to learn, they learnt, then came the modern programming languages. which imo were simpler than writing Assembly by yourself. It was basically
