Your users don't want AI features. They want their problems solved.

I keep seeing the same pattern in product launches: "Now with AI!" slapped on everything like a magic label.

But here's what I've noticed from watching dozens of AI-powered products succeed and fail:

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

My extremely personal Vibe Code diary

Hello, fellow Vibe Coders. I am a new Vibe Coder who left the handmade shoe industry in Korea to embark on a startup journey. I d like to share a record of the past two months or so.

As I am Korean, I am using Google Translate to generate the English text for each paragraph; I ask for your understanding.

1. In the two-plus months since I started using Claude Code, I have built nine simple apps; I released three of them on iOS and five on Android. This count includes projects I abandoned midway because they became too difficult.

2. The total number of downloads is just over 200, and I ve generated one paid subscription and $15 in AdMob revenue. These are the results from June through July. I hope this post will serve as a record of my early, modest beginnings.

What can universities truly offer students if tech firms value experience over degrees?

Traditional professions like doctors, judges, and the like need specialised academic guidance (certificate) + experience. I agree.

But what about technical and humanities? So far, everyone has argued that a university will bring contacts (I'm not arguing, that's true... but the same can be done with hustling/projects).

Biggest copyright challenges for AI-generated music?

Yesterday Google published a paper on a new model called MusicLM, which generates high-fidelity music from rich text descriptions. I haven't seen as much discourse about AI-generated music as I've seen for images and artworks. Are we too early on when it comes to music, or what do you think is causing that? What do you see the biggest litigation challenges to be?

The danger of celebrating high registration numbers with low retention?

There s a false sense of security in seeing signups tick upward when your actual core product usage stays completely flat.

We used to celebrate traffic spikes from launch directories only to find out those users vanished within 48 hours without touching a single key feature.

Chasing volume instead of actual activation was burning our engineering time on the wrong problems.

If you've run into this trap how did you restructure your core metrics to measure real engagement instead of empty vanity numbers?
