Cloud security training that actually works in production
I almost learned the hardest lesson in cloud security the easy way. New job. First week. Writing Terraform for an AWS environment handling payment data. Pushed my changes, opened a PR, felt good about shipping fast. A senior engineer glanced at my code and asked: "Is that bucket supposed to be public?" It wasn't. I had copied a configuration from a tutorial and missed one line. One line that...
I taught myself AI game dev without a math degree. Here's the course I wish existed.
Hey PH 👋 Quick confession: For two years, I told myself I wasn't smart enough to build AI into games. Every tutorial started with derivatives, matrix multiplication, or research papers. I'm a creative person who just wanted NPCs that didn't feel like cardboard cutouts. The math gatekeeping was real. Then I discovered something that made me angry: the tools had evolved, but the learning...
I spent 3 years being afraid of AI math. Then I built NPCs that actually learn.
Hey PH community 👋 Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've been watching launches here for years, always impressed by what people build. Finally have something of my own to share. The backstory: I wanted to add AI to games since forever. Every tutorial? "Let's start with linear algebra and gradient descent." I'm not a math person. I quit three times over two years. Then I discovered...
From "If-Then" to "I Think": Why I’m rebuilding Game AI from scratch (and why I need your feedback)
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I’ve been a gamer and a dev for years, but recently, I hit a wall of frustration. We have incredible 4K graphics and ray-tracing, but the "brains" of our games still feel like they’re from 2005. 🧟♂️ Most NPCs still follow rigid scripts. If you do A, they do B. Every time. It’s predictable, and honestly, it’s starting to feel a bit "pre-AI." The Mission: I decided to...
Are AI Copilots Actually Helping, or Just Making Us Faster at Shallow Work?
Over the last year, AI copilots exploded. They write code. They summarize docs. They generate content. But here’s the uncomfortable question: Are they actually improving deep work… Or just helping us produce more surface-level output? While building around Claude, we noticed something interesting: Most AI tools are optimized for speed. Very few are optimized for: • Structured thinking •...
