Would you pay for a product you could easily rebuild yourself?

As developers, it s easy to fall into the I could just code this in a weekend mindset.

But I ve realized time, maintenance, and support often cost way more than the price of the tool.

Still, sometimes I just can t justify paying for something I know I could make.

How important is it to be passionate about the problem your business is solving?

If I'm being completely honest, I have built a successful resume maker tool but I'm not passionate at all about resumes. Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire. But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business. Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion. Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about. What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?

If a company sends an AI to interview you, should you be allowed to bring yours?

Imagine joining a first-round interview. There s no recruiter on the call. An AI asks the questions, records your answers, and evaluates your responses.

You open an AI assistant to help organize your thoughts.

How does the PH homepage algorithm actually balance the sheer volume of daily launches?

Hey Product Hunt community,

With hundreds of products launching every single day, I ve been trying to understand the underlying architecture of homepage visibility and traffic distribution.

As a maker, when you launch a product, you often notice it doesn't always appear directly on the main featured feed for every visitor or on every device/browser.

This got me curious about how the platform balances fairness vs. algorithmic curation:
