Do you feel AI tools lack a human touch?

By human touch, I mean human support/help center, involving users in the development process, communicating with users etc.

Whats the best way to build a lightweight chat app (similar slack)

I am trying to code a prototype of a light weight slack. I am wondering if there are any resources or guides or sdk available? Thanks !

What’s the weirdest pivot you’ve ever made?

I was reading about the origins of Slack recently.

It started as an internal chat tool for a team building a multiplayer game called Glitch.

The game flopped but the internal comms tool turned out to be the real gold.

So they shut down the game and shipped the chat, the rest is startup legend.

What factors do you examine when deciding whether to transform your side project into a startup?

Majority of makers/founders start small and eventually get BIG! Each founder's path to the startup industry is unique. Let the community hear some of those tales. (It doesn't matter if your product is VC backed or Bootstrapped) Don't know where to start? Tip: Who are you? What's your product? What factors did you measure to turn your side project to product? ...add anything you would like

I was hoping you could help me build my talk at HalfStack Vienna.

After three days at a metal festival (in Pilsen), I realized something sad. In the software world, we don t have fun at work anymore. I am not talking about the HR-inspired fun; I am talking about the joy that comes from the inside. Do you remember the chair rowing? Do you remember how amazed we were to crash a keyboard or two on each other backs? Do you remember us singing songs about Java while writing fake protocols? What kind of fun did you use to have in your teams before the HR-organized joy of playing volleyball and drinking beer from PHP-shaped mugs? Help me inspire more people. Here are some of the examples I am going to present:
I will mention you during my talk if I include something from you.
