The last few months have blown me away not for the announcements but for the actual use tools like Cursor, Windsurf and the even recent ones like Bolt or Lovable. As someone who has no knowledge of coding, I have been up during nights materialising the product in my head into an web/app that I can run on my device - all through conversational english. With such pace and removal of barriers, what do you think the next phase of software development would be and what will be the differentiator that defines your(could be your product) success?
I've been wondering if there are any professions today that are just not ready for AI? One I can think of are skilled trades like plumbing and electrical work.
They often face unpredictable challenges that demand real-time decision making and provide reassurance to clients something AI can't do.. yet.
What about you? What other professions do you think are safe from the rise of AI?
I'm at my first PH launch today, and stumbled upon a question I thought could have been interesting to share. I'm sorry in advance if this sounds like a noob question to product experts, but that's exactly what I currently am :D
So my company just launched Bench for Claude Code here: it's an observability tool that logs, stores, and lets you share everything your Claude Code instances do.
I ve been experimenting with agents like Hermes and OpenClaw, and the most interesting use cases I ve found aren t really about chatting or coding. They re tasks that continue after I close my laptop: checking something periodically, maintaining a server, watching for changes, or taking action only when certain conditions are met. That feels quite different from how I use Codex or Claude. With those tools, I m usually present and actively driving the session. With an always-on agent, I m delegating something and coming back later. I m curious where others have found this distinction actually useful. What have you delegated to an agent that you wouldn t naturally do in a coding-agent session?
Optimization matters when building lightweight scripts for global e-commerce. Heavy packages slow down PageSpeed scores, which hurts Core Web Vitals. When building my latest script, I focused strictly on keeping JavaScript execution time under 15ms while keeping a direct sync with Meta Pixel data layers. What are your performance benchmarks when deploying tracking code on commercial sites?
I built a SaaS product over the past 4 months. The development part went well but now I m struggling with what comes next. I ve been trying to market it on my own, but honestly, I m failing:
-SEO isn t working
-Backlinks are not coming
-I m not reaching the right audience
-No clear guidance or structured approach to follow
It feels like there s a missing playbook after building a product. If anyone has gone through this stage or has a proven framework for acquiring users, doing marketing, or growing a SaaS from zero I d really appreciate your guidance.
My cofounder and I are building a booking SaaS for salons and beauty businesses in Bahrain.
We have a working product and have spoken with many local businesses, but getting customers to actually change their current workflow has been much harder than building the product.
The biggest surprise:
Many salons still manage appointments through WhatsApp + a notebook.
