Hey everyone,

SF is buzzing this week, but the question travels: how do you actually meet the right people (cofounders, investors, collaborators, etc.) without burning the night? What works for me: be visible (present/pitch if possible instant context), be memorable (two-liner like I spent a decade in meetings at Apple left to fix that ), and be intentional (goal: 5 useful connections, 1 investor intro keep moving every 3 5 minutes).

Here's my simple framework:

• Intent Target Ask (why you re here, who you need, concrete next step).

• Anchor to the moment ( What stood out from the talk? ).

• Exit cleanly ( Great chat mind if I send that link tonight? ).

Full report from @olivia_moore @mha1 & @seema_amble :

• Horizontal apps have a slight lead over vertical (60% of the list). This includes general assistants (ex. @Perplexity) and SIX different meeting support tools (ex. Fyxer AI). But, it also encompasses creative tools and vibe coding tools that are used in roles across orgs.

• Vertical apps can augment human labor...or replace it. We're mostly seeing the former - but five companies on the list allow customers to "hire AI" (ex. Crosby Legal, @Cognition IP , @11X). Labor augmenters mostly assist with customer service, sales, and recruiting.

• Vibe coding has landed in enterprises. It's not just a prosumer trend! Number three on the list, below @OpenAI and Anthropic? Replit. Other listmakers in the category include @Lovable and @Emergent 2.0, while @Cursor made the ranks for more technical users.

• Products are making the consumer -> enterprise jump. 12 cos also appeared in our most recent Consumer AI Top 100 - almost all of which started out B2C and have migrated B2B over time. In fact, 70% of listmakers are available for individual use (no enterprise license needed)!

Meow, world!

I really enjoyed reading The Breakpoint, Product Hunt's weekly, developer-focused newsletter, and wanted to relaunch it as a token of appreciation to the community.

MarketFit's PH launch just concluded few hrs back (i.e. on Sep 28).

A big thanks to everyone who cheered us and gave us feedback.

We christened Sep 28 as Don t Sell. Solve Problems day and many endorsed this idea.

When you start prepping a launch on Product Hunt, you may read here and there stories, how-tos, step-by-step guides, and playbooks. This is another, different story.

I had the opportunity to work with the @Kilo Code team on their launch. We ranked #1 Product of the Day and #1 OSS Product of the Week although we didn't apply most of the pro tips you may read on the Internet.

According to the 2025 @Stack Overflow Developer Survey (49,000+ participants), @VS Code and @Visual Studio remain the most used dev environments, despite the rise of subscription-based, AI-enabled code editors @Cursor and @Windsurf among others. Both maintain their top spots relying on extensions as optional, paid AI services like @Github Copilot and @Kilo Code.

Curious which IDE the Product Hunt community uses the most?

Being an engineer myself, I see that many people are outputting more code than ever. Some of it being generated vs. written, the volume of code being outputted has definitely risen. 
There seems to be a shift from "is this something we can build?" to "should we build this and ship it?"
For people who have been recruiting or looking to recruit recently, what roles are you hiring for? 

1. Role title (I've seen a rise in PM's and Designers personally)

2. What exactly can they do that AI can't (yet)

3. Specific signal that you look for when hiring

Are you moving headcount from one type of role to another? 
Would be interested to hear from other growing teams!
