Which jobs do you think will disappear and which will be created? (in the online space)

I keep hearing and reading about how programmers are at risk; basically, everything that can be replaced by AI is at risk.

  • Yesterday, Lenny Rachitsky shared a post that PM openings are at the highest levels since 2022.

  • At the same time, I read how big giants (Meta, Amazon, etc.) are laying off engineers because of AI, and then I read about how they had to hire back again because something managed by AI went wrong.

What app do you use the most during the day?

Let's be honest with that. I mostly use Slack during the work days, and YouTube on weekends. What about you?

What are the most remarkable outcomes when being present on Product Hunt?

I remember the era when people on X started gossiping that this platform is dead. (IMO, they were just angry that some rules had changed and they weren't featured.)

I can speak for myself that, being here for more than 3 years, I have had many opportunities:

  • got free access to many tools or were sent physical products

  • had calls and touch with the members of the community and also the internal team, including the CEO

  • was encouraged to create a hackathon (last year)

  • recongition

  • there were also many missed opportunities from my side to hunt products

  • featuring in newsletter with 140k+ recipients strengthening my personal brand position

Cursor or Claude Code?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

Pitch your startup in 5 words or less

Forget the pitch deck for a second. This is about grabbing attention fast. Share your startup in five words or less. The goal is to be clear, clever, or just bold enough to make people stop scrolling. Who knows, it could be a good marketing exercise

I'm Daniel. I made $404,473 selling an ebook and a video course on the internet. AMA 👇

2.5 years ago I decided to quit the rat race and I left my career in big tech to go work for myself, on my own terms. Initially, I was going to focus all my attention on building a SaaS, but I quickly realized I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Fast forward to today, I make and sell educational info products, do some contracting (working quarter-time at Gumroad), run a SaaS business, and at the end of this month, I also plan to get into selling physical products.I made $550K+ in revenue since I started working for myself, with over $400K coming from info products. Ask me anything!

To hard paywall or not — that is the question!

According to @RevenueCat 's State of Subscription Apps 2026 report, "hard paywalls convert 5x better than freemium, but with significantly wider variance."

Day 35 download-to-paid, freemium vs. hard paywall

Does access method impact download-to-paid conversion within 35 days?
