Hi community, I want to share some honest takeaways from a long stretch in enterprise software (mostly across APAC):
Lesson one: the technology is rarely the problem. The hardest part of any deployment is the conversation between the people who buy it, the people who use it, and the people who maintain it.
Lesson two: 'best practice' is a moving target. What worked five years ago is now a liability. What's working now will be a liability in three.
Lesson three: trust compounds slower than reputation. Reputation can be built in a launch. Trust takes years and three difficult conversations you didn't want to have.
I m focusing on projects that help me show real problem-solving, not just tutorial work. Right now I m interested in building useful portfolio projects, learning how developers work with real codebases, and getting better at explaining my decisions clearly.
Hi Everyone, I am Utkarsh Gautam, currently working as software engineer at Google Hyd. In my past time I try out AI tools and build useful stuff from them. My most recent project is @VineVerse https://vines.world which is an alternate short and long form video platform. Try it out and let me know what you think ! Thanks
I'm Alex, founder of toani. First time posting here wanted to introduce myself before we launch in a few weeks.
The short version of what we're building:
For the past year I kept hitting the same wall using AI agents. The second you give an agent a real password or API key to do anything useful log into a dashboard, call an internal API that secret is now in its logs, traces, and LLM context. Everywhere the agent goes, the secret follows.
Hey Product Hunt I'm Youssef, building Proxelion from scratch.
I spent months watching great salespeople get ignored because their cold emails were generic. Not because they didn't work hard but because nobody ever told them the email was bad before they sent it.
So I built the tool I wish existed: AI that generates your email AND grades it A F before you hit send.
Scary to put something you built alone in front of the world. But here we are.
I'm Sandeep Sharma, founder of Cogvert, a digital marketing agency. We've been deep in the trenches of SEO and content marketing for years, but over the past 12 months we noticed something shift: our clients' brands were becoming invisible in AI-generated answers.
My name is Eva and I'm from Czechia. I studied Russian translation at university, that was supposed to be my path. For a few years it was: I worked as a project coordinator at a power engineering company. Then things shifted, my field got affected by what was happening in the world, and I had to rethink my career.
I had been curious about programming for a long time, partly because my boyfriend is a software engineer and watching him work made it feel less abstract. There was a boom of programming courses in Czechia at the time, so I took the chance and started from zero, spending evenings building little card games and trying to make sense of JavaScript.
A few months later, I found a job as a frontend engineer at a digital agency. That first year was hard. I was learning fast, building real products for real clients, and constantly feeling behind. Impostor syndrome was a daily companion. But I kept going. My partner became my mentor, and I owe him a lot of who I am as a developer today.
A year later, I joined Native, an American startup building a B2B AI conversation platform. For a language enthusiast like me, it was a dream. Over three years I grew from frontend engineer to senior product engineer, architecting real-time WebSocket systems, driving activation growth, working closely with design and product. That place taught me how much of engineering is actually about people, trade-offs, and listening.
Hi all, I'm building ideaminer as a tool for indie hackers to find and validate ideas to build. I've put a lot of thought into it, let me know what you guys think.
