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 ... ... nika): @mpanpalli  You are welcome :) Comment from Margarita Shvetsova(@margarita_s88): This topic is always relevant and interesting to discuss :) today is my 4th launch, and I'd like to add my insights to this thread: 1.

... 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!

... 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.

... 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

... from it rather than just relying on it to do everything for us. One way I make sure I stay engaged is by not just accepting AI s first response. Instead, I challenge it asking follow-up questions, seeking alternative perspectives, and verifying information. This keeps my critical thinking sharp and helps me refine my decision-making. How do you personally balance AI use while ensuring you stay engaged in the learning process? Comment from Mark Maxwell(@john_melano07): @busmark ... ... conversation partner rather than just an answer machine can help keep our critical thinking sharp.
