... right and is more useful than either, and the revised version went up this month, so it's worth twenty minutes before you write your Q4 plan. It's NBER working paper 35275, Demirer, Musolff and Yang - "Writing Code vs. Shipping Code." More than 500,000 GitHub developers, matched against their actual AI usage telemetry rather than a survey, in a matched event study design. The headline numbers are large and I have no interest in arguing with them. Cumulative ... ... effects on commits: 30% for autocomplete, 180% for interactive coding agents, 240% for autonomous ones.

... kept running into the same complaint in photography and Instagram threads: someone edits out a trash can with Photoshop Generative Fill, and Instagram slaps "Made with AI" on the whole photo. Clients ask if the photo is real. It's not even a generated image it's one AI-assisted edit on an otherwise real photo. So I built NoMoreAI ( nomoreai.in ) to clean it up. What it does: reads the file, shows you what's embedded (C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF ...

... agent you use and generate a ridiculous amount of code in a few hours. We've been seeing this firsthand while building Murmell, where we often have multiple coding agents working in parallel on the same project. And it made me wonder if we're actually shipping faster. Because while AI makes writing code cheaper, it also makes it incredibly easy to: build features nobody asked for create more code to review run several experiments at once accumulate technical debt ...

... differently from each other, which we didnot expect, and it broke things we didn't even imaging could break. Since then we have shipped 60+ commits to fix all of those issues and still continue to ship at speed. Made chats recover after a mobile browser freezes or suspends the tab. Made

... ever built something from scratch, you know how much a simple launch can mean. If Traccia resonates with you, we d be incredibly grateful for your feedback and support on Product Hunt. Today isn t we made it. It s we finally made

... made some parts of building dramatically faster for me. A feature that used to take a long session can sometimes become a much shorter implementation task. At first, I treated that as straightforward productivity. More shipped = more progress. Then I noticed something. The faster I could generate changes, the more time I needed to spend deciding: Is this actually the right change? Did the agent touch anything unrelated? Does this fit the existing workflow? What assumptions did it make? What ... ... uncertainty, solving a real problem, or learning something important is progress. AI makes creation cheaper. That makes choosing what deserves your attention even more important. For people building with AI: Have you changed how you measure progress since AI made

... pressure, trust your instincts, and see how good your scam radar really is. I got tired of seeing DON T CLICK SUSPICIOUS LINKS everywhere and thought okay, but what happens when someone actually puts me under pressure? So I made HUNCH. Try it here: https://hunch-bice.vercel.app/ And if you play it, I genuinely want to know: What scenario made

... obvious. Sometimes it isn't. If the only answer is: "We can see what it looks like." I probably want to investigate first. That might mean: talking to a potential user testing a manual workflow checking an existing alternative testing willingness to pay running a small experiment The interesting part is that AI hasn't necessarily removed product uncertainty. It may have just made

... Guys did you saw the guys who built the outbid website, like the million dollar page but you can bid to be first, it blew up and he made 150k$ + and it's coming up. That prove one thing, sometimes it's the simplest ideas that work's the most ! btw, murmell is coming back 2 of september :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @moss_ab_mirande_ney  Well, but those offered money  all are taken ... ... Mirande-Ney(@moss_ab_mirande_ney): @busmark_w_nika  Basically, you bid to get the #1 spot on the website. If someone outbids you, they take your place. Simple mix of visibility, competition and status : that s what made

... different kind of context problem while working with AI coding agents. The agent can read the code. It can inspect the git history. It can find the files it needs. But sometimes it still misses something important: Why we made a particular decision in the first place. For example: Why we deliberately didn't use an abstraction Why an API is handled differently in one workflow Why a certain dependency is pinned Why a seemingly duplicated piece of code exists ... ... models treat any syntactically valid mock as the "production" truth ) Comment from Konstantin Tikhaev(@konstantin_tikhaev): Agent wired early placeholder directyl into production reports.

... window and filled 75% of the round. Then a major UK VC offered to take the whole thing. We decided to stand by our angels and finish the round with them instead. From a relationship standpoint, I think we made the right decision. For the business, I m less sure. A VC is incentivised to get you to the next round and bring their VC network. A potentially pivotal decision in hindsight. June I went full-time. a16z decided ... ... about an internal rollout and possible deeper integration. After the low of a16z, this was a new high.

... ChatGPT a lot for first drafts, but I usually end up rewriting half of it because it still sounds like ChatGPT. So I made ProofWrite. Basically you paste the draft in, it cleans up the weird AI-ish wording without changing what you re trying to say. There s an AI detector in there too, mostly because I wanted to check the text again after editing it. https://proofwrite.ai Still working on it. If you try it and hate something ...

... What made you guys choose Product Hunt over other launch websites, and did you got good stats/traffic with it ? And what alternatives

... research showed they quietly get worse the more you feed them and that flips how you build. There's a move almost every maker makes the first time they build something on top of an AI model, and I made it too. The window is huge now, so you fill it. All the docs. The whole conversation history. Every tool you might conceivably need. The reasoning goes: the model is smart, more information can only help it, so give ... ... instruction you most need obeyed should be the last thing the model reads, not buried in a system prompt from forty turns ago. I'll be honest about where this hit home for me. A while back we made

... Could be a website, an app, a checkout flow, a product demo, or anything interactive. What made it memorable? Comment from Ivy Bisht(@ivy_bisht): Superhuman's onboarding call. They used to get on a call with literally every single new user before letting them in. When it launched, people thought that was insane. How do you scale a product by doing sales calls one at a time? But that was kind of the genius of it. Instead of building ... ... completely change how you experience a product.

Comment from Somesh Putatunda(@somesh_putatunda): @sharun_kanan   @rohanrecommends  Really appreciate this, Rohan.

... build this?" Now, before opening my editor, I try to answer a few questions: Does this solve a real problem? Is this based on actual user feedback? Am I building this because users asked for it, or because AI made it easy? I'm still figuring out the right balance between moving fast and staying focused. I'm curious how other makers have adapted. Has AI changed the way you decide what not to build? Or do you think rapid ... ... ones instead of finishing Comment from Evolvix AI (@evolvix_ai): @charlotte_reed1  That's a fair point. Some breakthrough features definitely weren't requested directly. I'm curious how do you decide which intuition is worth betting on versus

... years by people who cared about how it feels to use. Dark, considered interfaces. Whitespace that isn't accidental. Content that is the product, not decoration bolted onto a spreadsheet. The short answer to "what's the best LinkedIn alternative in 2026" is this: builders aren't looking for another feed.

... federal government instructed @Claude by Anthropic to suspend access to two of its most advanced AI models for every foreign national, including Anthropic's own foreign employees. Access was later restored, but the message was clear: a political decision made outside Europe could determine whether Europeans were allowed to access a frontier AI model. Europe did not suddenly lose access to all AI. But what happens if , one day, access to the leading American models is restricted more broadly ... ... would still have European models, open-source systems we can operate ourselves, and Chinese alternatives

Connections are easier to explore, setup is clearer, and new users get better guidance instead of landing in an empty app with no direction. We also made recall faster and more focused, so one large result does not overwhelm your AI assistant with unnecessary context. A lot of work went into making the product more reliable and easier to build on from here. Huge credit to Vincenzo Fabiano ... ... FaberVi , who made

... Since the content rarely changes, I suggested going with a static website. It is incredibly secure, loads instantly, and can be hosted for free on platforms like Netlify. I advised her that we should start with a polished, pre-made HTML Template to save time. We picked the Edomi - Bootstrap 5 Education, Learning Courses HTML Template because it already had the clean layout cards we needed for her class lists. Here is my daily developer journal of how I built ... ... Auditing and Cleaning the Source Files On my first day, I downloaded the source folder and inspected the directory. The layout is built with Bootstrap 5, which means it is fully responsive and uses modern CSS variables. This made
