I m an ex investment banker. Left my comfy IB job last year. Since then I ve been vibecoding and learning how to actually build stuff.
Built a bunch of tools over the last 3 months, but one question kept bugging me: will capital markets / VCs / gov programs even take vibecoded products seriously?
Initially I assumed no one would. Then I thought what do I even lose? Worst case I learn something.
Every company has its own vibe, but I ve noticed a pattern: the bigger the company, the less they tend to do for employees around Christmas.
In smaller teams (or startups), it s usually way cosier people actually try to keep the holiday spirit alive (in our country, that often means a Christmas bonus, extra salary, vitamin packs, food hampers, etc.).
Is there something you feel you missed and if you could go back, would you make the same decision, or choose differently?
I ve only recently started my professional journey, working at a startup that builds an app. I don t have a long or glamorous career yet, nor a lot of experience. But one thing I do regret is not trying to work earlier, and instead spending most of my time buried in academic studies.
When I finally entered the workplace, I realized that much of what I learned in school was no longer aligned with the market or the speed at which things evolve. The job required soft skills that textbooks and theory never taught. I learned quickly that without self-learning and constant adaptation, it s easy to fall behind.
Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.
Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.
Last night I opened LinkedIn for a moment, and at that moment, someone wrote to me who is going to relaunch a product after a year and a half. (Yes, I do not have anything to work on Friday night, don't blame me, I do not have a social life) :D
Needless to say, a lot has changed on this platform in a year.
The last 14 days have been mental. Here s why Pretty Prompt has grown faster in two weeks than our previous product did in 14 months . Crazy. Highlights: - 36 new reviews. More than the last 3 months combined. - 1,000+ new paying users signed up. Still can t believe I m typing that. - We gave a talk at Stripe about our story and using LLMs in production. - And on our side, we have been shipping like crazy. This week is Launch Week. Major updates. New integrations. Small but powerful tweaks. Super excited What people are saying: - My productivity has skyrocketed. It just makes sense the second you use it." - Honestly, it's one of those tools that instantly becomes part of your everyday stack. - No friction, no learning curve. Just genuinely better outputs..." - "The time savings compound quickly." - "The output I'm getting from Pretty Prompt is a million billion times better than what I was getting before. Biggest focus: - Refine v2 better refinement, multiple options, context. - Team Plans shared libraries, multi-user support. - Lovable Integration site-specific prompts for Vibe coding Obsessed with making every day better than the last.
And it all started right here in Product Hunt. The best place to launch new products.
At least it was for us.
Your feedback drives what we're building. Try Pretty Prompt and let me know your thoughts!
Love the intention behind @Windsurf Codemaps, which are "AI-annotated structured maps of your code, powered by SWE-1.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5." to enable "hyper-contextualized codebase understanding, grounded in precise code navigation".
Or put another way: a map to help find your way in a thicket of vibed spaghetti code.
I've been making short films for as long as I can remember.
My first short was back in middle school, where my brother and I pretended we were in Star Wars, dueling with dowel rod lightsabers. By the time I met my co-founders, Spencer and Charlie, in college, my storytelling had (I hope) evolved well past my VFX-obsessed origin story.
We met on the set of a feel-good student short I directed last fall. But this wasn t backyard filmmaking anymore. We quickly got stuck in a hellish landscape of spreadsheets. Nobody s availability lined up, everyone was overwhelmed, and it took forever to finish the film.

Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?
For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).
The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.
Elon Musk was extremely frustrated that Wikipedia couldn t be manipulated, and he even offered $1 billion if they renamed it to d*ckipedia.
Since that didn t work out, he s now trying to build his own platform for gathering information claiming that Wikipedia is hopelessly biased, and that left-leaning editors influence its content.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.
For example:
I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)
