... shipped? Five integrations now recognize the bugs people actually hit and prove the fix with a real before/after: Stripe, Paddle, Clerk, AgentMail, Descope. Not "we support the API," but "we catch the specific way it breaks." Chaos-order proof for billing webhooks. One of you asked whether we could prove a Paddle subscription survives webhooks arriving in any order. We built it, and then went deeper, to the failure devs actually fear: a paused customer silently getting their access back ... ... test coverage, then verified every suggestion against the real engine before trusting it. It surfaced 5 false positives we'd otherwise have shipped. We spent days trying to break our own work: malformed inputs, adversarial routing, the proof

... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative, not because they find it genuinely useful. The Fake Everything Problem LinkedIn has a trust problem that is getting dramatically worse, not better. In the second half of 2024, LinkedIn identified and removed 80.6 million fake accounts at the point ... ... just who has employed you. Where verification comes from the work itself rather than from unchecked self-reporting. That is a fundamentally different kind of professional profile than LinkedIn offers. And it is what builders increasingly need as the proof

... hiring manager, I couldn't trust resumes. My team wasted so much time on screening calls, only to find the candidates weren't a match. There was no real proof-of-work, and with AI now writing resumes, the noise is just getting worse. As a candidate, it was just as frustrating. My past work didn't help me get better roles; it felt like I was starting over every single time because my performance signals were buried ... ... company HR tools that no one could see. Badge is proof

... here. Most professions cannot show their actual work easily. Developers can. You can deploy something for free, document it properly, and let anyone in the world click through it. The problem most builders have is not a lack of proof of work. It is that the proof

... push on this - what's the ONE thing in Maleu someone does in week one that they can't do anywhere else? That's the wedge, and once you find it, the "one identity" story becomes your proof. Comment from Anna Ludwinowski(@anna_ludwinowski): @geode_ai  Ok, now THIS is good: "Local by default, cloud by choice" is a great landing point! I like that you didn't get there by assuming the first problem statement was wrong ... ... Ludwinowski(@anna_ludwinowski): @picspace  "What changed for the user" instead of "what did I build" is exactly the right swap! It's the same trap in enterprise IT and in most launches here, just dressed differently (feature list vs

... glossy corporate ad. It's literally an animated pipeline showing my real certificates, my real constraints, and my actual workflow managing a digital AI crew completely on a single smartphone. Like @tina_chhabra mentioned, the context becomes the proof of skill. Showing the community the real human behind the tools, replying to every comment, and being honest about your constraints is how you beat the AI noise. Comment from Francois Marais(@francois_marais_nz): There is another thread here called ... ... please an algorithm or look good in a deck, it starts sounding like everyone else's content. A messy screenshot with a real number in it beats a polished carousel every time lately, because the messiness itself is the proof

... everyone, I m soft-launching VeilScan today. It s a proof-based external vulnerability scanner for startups, SaaS teams, fintech products, and lean technical teams. The problem I m trying to solve is simple: Most small teams ship fast, but they don t always know what their external attack surface looks like. Traditional scanners often return long noisy lists, but not enough clear proof

... done, it lives on someone else's domain, or worse, behind a login screen you can't share. So when a recruiter or client asks "can I see your work?", the honest answer is complicated. The work exists. The proof doesn't. And that gap costs people jobs. I've been thinking about this problem for a while, which is why I built Krilarr - a verifiable developer portfolio platform that lets your work speak with evidence, not just screenshots. With ... ... Krilarr, developers can: Showcase real projects with verified proof

Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @shivyadavus  You need to try both ;) Comment from Rishav Rajak(@rishav_rajak): Both paths have merit, but I think the decision comes down to your distribution channel. For B2C with social proof mechanics, brand-first gives you a warmer audience at launch people show up day one because they care about you. For niche B2B, it can actually backfire: you end up with an engaged audience that isn't your ICP. We launched ... ... distract from whether the product solves a real problem. My practical split would be: Build in public around the problem Share specific lessons and mistakes Launch small product proofs

... Built something I think this community will find useful. Krilarr is a verifiable developer portfolio platform. You create Proof Cards, structured portfolio items that capture what you built, the outcomes it produced, and link to real evidence (live URLs, repos, metrics). Then you share one clean profile link instead of a PDF resume or a GitHub that needs explaining. The Pro tier ($3.99/mo) includes an AI Proposal Assistant that turns your Proof

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... lessons. What stands out is how common this pattern is. Teams assume enterprise is just more features, but it s actually a completely different motion: longer sales cycles, compliance, onboarding, and trust layers. Also love the point about data vs

... they have an optimized website, and if they are showing up in AI search results like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity. Each business gets a Need Score (0-100) so you instantly see who's desperate for help vs. who's already handled. No more guessing. But I didn't want a data tool; I wanted a closing tool. So I built four workflows directly into the platform: 1. Decision-Maker Contact Reveal: This was the feature I wish ... ... prospect.

... have time to use it within the first 3 days. When I circle back to try it 10 days later (when I really have time), the trial has already expired. Maybe A/B testing day-based trials versus usage-based (like using units) trials would be an interesting experiment :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @pavel_build  Is there any way you can track those paid users who subscribed just because some free user referenced the product?

... certainty. In that painful search for answers, some consider using tools like phone or location trackers. It's a complex issue with significant emotional and ethical weight. Let's break down the reality. The Immediate Impulse: Seeking Concrete Proof The desire to know the truth after betrayal is understandable. When words feel empty, data can seem like the only source of objective reality. The thought process often is: "If I can just see the proof
