We often celebrate the wins and the "hockey stick growth" moments here, which is incredibly inspiring. However, I believe there's a treasure trove of knowledge in the projects that didn't work out, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.
I think a lot of the PH community can relate that we have a lot of pride in our projects/software and want as many people as possible to see and use it. As a result, we often self-promote across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, X, etc. On the one hand, I call this self-advocacy, because no one else will post about you and what you've dedicated hundreds of hours to. On the other hand, self-promoting too much can lead to reputational harm, getting marked as a spammer, and being lost in the sea of other "self-promoters." How do you find this balance? I think I tend towards being too conservative. Any tips on successfully getting your message/product out there without being a shill? Final thought: it feels like self-promotion is okay for already successful companies, but up and comers are seen as spammers. Bit of a catch 22?
Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.
In the morning, I read this announcement:
Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features. The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.
Found about MCP servers earlier this year, but only the last few weeks im getting my hands dirty with them. Im doing things with Typescript and Im struggling with integrating custom clients with mcp servers. Is anyone going through the same path?
PS: Im not asking about building an MCP server or connecting it to Claude Desktop, Cursor or something like that. That is easy, and Youtube is packed with videos about it. Im talking about custom frontends/clients and how to easily integrate them with MCP servers.
Donald Trump's tariff policies are hitting the Korean stock market hard. The KOSPI is currently down 3%, and as an office worker in Korea, I am worried and feel uneasy. Could this lead to an economic crisis this year? I'm genuinely concerned. Let's talk this topic!
I wanted to share a bit of the reality behind solo development, because this past week has been a rough one. I was set to launch my product tomorrow, but due to some personal health issues, I ve had to push it back by two weeks.
Your launch is live. Traction is real. Momentum is building. You ve pitched investors, calls went well and then your dream VC calls. They love what you re doing. They re interested.
They end with: "Great product. Can you send over the data room?"
