Getting a job is becoming increasingly difficult many applicants (high competition), automation and the replacement of tasks with artificial intelligence...
Hi! I'm Justin Jackson. My friend Jon Buda and I launched https://transistor.fm/ (podcast hosting and analytics) four years ago on Product Hunt. Since then we've been able to quit our day jobs, acquire thousands of customers, earn millions in revenue, and hire two amazing people. Here's a retrospective: https://transistor.fm/anniversary/ Ask me anything about bootstrapping, product-market fit, why choosing your market is the most crucial decision you'll make, SaaS, building in public, and more! I'll answer the questions on August 4th.
Apple's latest event is tomorrow. They are expected to launch brand new iPhones, an Apple Watch pro maybe and maybe some new Mac drops What do you want to see?
Here s something uncomfortable I ve learned building AI agent systems:
AI rarely fails at the step we re watching.
It fails somewhere quieter a retry that hides a timeout, a queue that grows by every hour, a memory leak that only matters at scale, a slow drift that looks like variation until it s too late.
Most teams measure accuracy. Some measure latency.
My top 3 for this week! I'm sure a lot more things will come up. 1. Building brand awareness
2. Working on several thought pieces
3. Client acquisitions
Being an engineer myself, I see that many people are outputting more code than ever. Some of it being generated vs. written, the volume of code being outputted has definitely risen. There seems to be a shift from "is this something we can build?" to "should we build this and ship it?" For people who have been recruiting or looking to recruit recently, what roles are you hiring for?
Role title (I've seen a rise in PM's and Designers personally)
What exactly can they do that AI can't (yet)
Specific signal that you look for when hiring
Are you moving headcount from one type of role to another? Would be interested to hear from other growing teams!
