A lot of us tend to neglect our health, being so entrenched in the work we're doing. That's unfortunate because without health, we can't really do much. It should be prioritized above all.
Prioritizing health starts with simple habits. Personally, exercising even just 45 minutes a day (usually in the morning) - whether that's lifting weights or shooting hoops has greatly improved my posture, energy levels, confidence, and mental clarity. It sounds cliche, but I really do believe exercising is a super-enhancer. What is one healthy habit that has yielded improvements for you?
The world has changed rapidly over the past two decades with the internet, new technologies and the accelerated transfer of information.
Anyone not actively working online or in IT may have trouble keeping up with these "tech trends." This is especially true for older generations who did not have the opportunity to grow up with computers as it is today.
I've tested so many AI Note takers as of late. @Fathom, @Fireflies.ai , BuildBetter, @Grain, and even Google's Transcribing feature. They're all pretty good but lately @Granola has been winning me over.
BuildBetter is really good for teams, has a nice chat function that lets you chat across all your meetings and get good insight from your team members, calls, clients, etc. But for personal, and individual notes - Granola is a champion. Recently I've been using Granola's new mobile app for in-person convos and it's amazing. Particularly for my conversations in Japanese, where the chances of me misinterpreting something, missing a key note, or simply not knowing a word are higher. Granola captures all key points and topics and WRITES THE NOTES IN ENGLISH. Literal immediate translating assistant. I'm not sure if other's do this, but Granola has been the easiest to quickly boot up and get my notes in a snap...without needing to translate. I'm curious what everyone else uses and why!
Today, I read 2 messages that are contradictory in nature, and it seems like one branch is rebelling against the other.
Meta and other big tech companies are replacing human workers with AI.
Heineken, Aerie, Polaroid, and even Cadbury are riding the anti-AI wave, mocking Big Tech and positioning human-made creativity as the ultimate authenticity flex.
How do you think that these pro and anti streams can affect the evolution of AI and our perception of its use?
In my opinion, the startup scene is not evenly supported, and some countries are not so passionate about business. I'm from Central Europe, and I don't feel any extra entrepreneurial spirit here. From my observations, countries like France, and Germany (maybe Poland) have always been mainly startup-oriented.
In terms of more favourable taxes for entrepreneurs, Cyprus and Estonia came to mind.
But maybe I'm wrong and I'm overlooking local communities.
Thinking about future-proofing my skills and I'm curious to hear from the pros in this community. We all have our core skills, but what's one skill that wasn't a big deal a few years ago but you now see as essential for your role in late 2025?
For Marketers: Is it data storytelling? AI prompt engineering?
For Designers: Is it prototyping with real data? Designing for AI?
Over the past few days, you may have noticed a new account on Product Hunt called "Curious Kitty" commenting on some launch posts. It was created on 20th December 2025.
First observation: it behaves like a bot. It only asks questions (no opinions, no praise, no criticism) and those comments get visually highlighted, similar to how awarded comments stand out on Reddit. (screenshot attached)
