Remote workers, how do you stay productive while being isolated?

The biggest boom in remote work was during the COVID pandemic, but corporations have started to call employees back into their offices, either because of prepaid office space or better control over employees' work.

Some have stuck with the remote model until now, e.g. Spotify.

Using AI as an Enhancer vs letting it do the thinking for you

When ChatGPT was at the beginning, I and most of my colleagues used it as an enhancer for our work - mostly code and research - much like a person would use Google but more direct, saving time instead of browsing more websites. We'd have a question about our work and talked to an AI expert (that wasn't that good before) to find out the answer. No more, no less.

Today, I see a LOT of people writing entire apps, writing entire essays, university thesis paragraphs, marketing messages, emails and talking to AI non-stop while working, following it blindly at this point. The worst part: sometimes it takes way longer to repair/edit/debug/update what AI produces than would have taken to even learn to do the thing yourself.

How do you make sure your products are secure after vibecoding it entirely or partially?

After using a lot of AI-generated code lately, I've found myself spending a lot of hours on checking and repairing a lot of easy-to-spot security flaws. That being said, AI generally sucks at actually implementing secure code (or architectures), as well as recommending what to do to make your app more secure (sometimes even decently secure).

Have you had this problem as well? If yes, how do you tackle it?

What are the best monetisation models you have seen so far?

For me, the best monetisation model is CapCut (especially that psychological side of that).

They let me use their free desktop version the whole time, so I started being dependent on them.

I build my first full social app with vibecoding.

I'm a UX designer by trade, and as a designer I always had some fun ideas to build but never the tools to do so other then some concept design. But recently I had this Idea again from a while back and just build it.

It ook me over 2 months and had to learn a lot of code and documentation myself to tell the damn AI's what to do.

It's a weird feeling of feeling powerful and helpless at the same time haha.

Unpopular opinion: Most SaaS founders overbuild. The MVP era is dead.

Welcome to the MLP era.

Does your company welcome juniors and interns despite AI progress?

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

How do you actually get AWS credits?

Hey folks,

I m building SaaS product on a ramen budget. The painful surprise? My burn on must have SaaS and Cloud is eclipsing what I can put into marketing and product.

I keep hearing legends about founders stacking thousands in AWS credits or discounts. But every blog post feels dated or locked behind an accelerator gate.

If you ve personally snagged legit credits (not referral spam), could you share:
