... just as brutal. AI has lowered the cost of building so dramatically that any successful PLG mechanic gets cloned within weeks. The moat that used to be "we built this first" is gone. The products winning today (Cursor, Lovable, Gamma) reduce the friction plus letting users edit AI outputs instead of building from scratch. A fundamentally different value proposition. So the question for builders is: Is classic PLG (freemium, viral loops, self-serve onboarding) still a viable strategy ... ... only ever validate it iteratively over time by checking whether your product still truly matters to the audience you're building for. AI has massively shortened the cycle for re evaluating that fit, because markets, expectations, and competitors

... years ago I started building a trading terminal because I was tired of stitching together 5 different subscriptions that didn't share data. It started as a simple AI bot that posted daily market recaps. Then I added gamma exposure calculations. Then volatility surfaces. Then real-time dealer positioning computed from raw options chain data across every strike and expiration. Then I couldn't stop. 18+ sections later, NOVA Intelligence covers every major asset class, computes institutional-grade options analytics ... ... keys (ex. Polygon, ThetaData, Databento, Finnhub, OPRA) and NOVA handles all the heavy computation and visualization. No vendor lock-in. No data markup. Features unlock dynamically based on what your connection supports. What took the longest to build: the gamma

... vulnerabilities and doing manual reviews just to make sure nothing risky slips into production. So I started asking myself, what if AI could actually help you ship safer code, not just more of it? That s why I built Gammacode. It s an AI code intelligence platform that generates, scans your repos for vulnerabilities, bugs and tech debt, then automatically fixes them in secure sandboxes or through GitHub actions.  You can use it from the web or your terminal ... ... ship production-ready code faster, without trading off security. I built it for developers, startups and small teams who want to move quickly but still sleep at night knowing their code is clean.  Unlike most AI coding tools, Gammacode

... ICYMI: 1x launched the NEO Gamma, a new generation of humanoid robots that are designed to help out with things at the home like doing the laundry, cleaning, putting up photos, etc. This is the kind of stuff I used to dream about as a kid but now as an adult I'm not sure if I want a robot walking around my house. Would you let one in and what do you think about home robots? Think they have ... ... future or is it going to be a hype train before fizzling out?
