I am not a developer. I am a sales/business guy who gets an obscene amount of value out of ChatGPT. It remembers who I am, seems to give me better answers than Claude, and I have the impression that it s a leading model, whereas Claude is top 10 maybe top five, but not top three. With that said, all I hear online is that Claude is better on all fronts. It s better for coding, more ethical, and will last longer than ChatGPT. I even hear it has better models. If that s the case, why do I feel like it pales in comparison to my ChatGPT experience? Why does my own experience not align with the broader appeal I see for Claude every day? Is it because I don't code or am I just using it poorly?

For the last few months, I have struggled to differentiate who is real in discussions (like commenters) or who creates a real conversation (contributor). That usually results in the fact that I do not reply to everyone, just people I can see there from the "pre-AI" era. How do those "fake" accounts influence your attitude towards PH users who participated in discussions? Is there anything that would change your perception?

I opened the main page and was surprised. It was quite a pleasant change. How do you like it?

I recently moved from working full-time for one company to freelancing 1-2 days a week for a few different companies. I work in finance and operations for startups. It's been an interesting transition and chance to learn something about my own working style (both the good and bad!). Specifically; the small change of having to track my hours across different clients means I'm much more aware of my own productivity with the constraint of a fixed number of hours for each client each week. Those of you working freelance (currently or in the past), do you have any other tips to share that helped you make the transition from full-time?

Let s say you re curious about starting a new company/project, how do you spot any rising trends to work on? It can be Reddit, Google Trends, Instagram - whatever works for you.

On Twitter / X, @rrhoover asked: "What's a problem you would pay to have solved?" https://x.com/rrhoover/status/17... I'd also like to know (out of curiosity), but would love to also have this discussion here.

If I could start my career over, I would enter the world of architecture. Designing unique furniture, arranging interiors to awaken my full creative potential, and writing blogs about it for leading magazines.

Reading and running brings me the greatest joy. And, of course, spending time in nature is essential too.

Hey, Makers! We ve all been there: you re pumped about a new project, have a crystal-clear vision, and then roadblocks. Not because of tech or tools, but because getting everyone on the same page feels like pulling teeth. Team alignment can make or break a project s success. So, let's talk about how you, as a maker, can nail down alignment, set everyone up for success, and actually enjoy the process! Here s how to make that happen (and avoid the chaos)! 1. Start with Why Define the Purpose Together It might sound obvious, but when teams start a project without clearly understanding the why, misalignment is just around the corner. Kick things off by gathering the team to clarify the project s purpose and why it matters to the company and to customers. Encourage everyone to voice what they think and expect you'll be surprised how this exercise uncovers insights and sets a solid foundation for alignment. 2. Set Clear Goals and Prioritize Together Once the team s on board with the purpose, it s time to turn it into actionable goals. Set specific, measurable goals, and make sure each team member understands their role in achieving them. This is also the moment to agree on priorities so everyone s energy goes into what matters most. 3. Define Roles and Ownership Ambiguity about who owns what can lead to dropped balls, duplicated work, and frustration. Make roles explicit! Go around the table and clarify who s doing what, and if possible, give each person ownership of a specific area. Ownership isn t just about who does what ; it s about empowering team members to make decisions and feel responsible for their part of the puzzle. 4. Hold Regular Check-ins Keep It Short and Sweet Alignment isn t a one-and-done deal. It s easy for teams to lose focus as the project unfolds. Schedule quick, regular check-ins to ensure everyone s still in sync and aligned with the original goals. These meetings should be quick (we re talking 10 15 minutes) and focused on project updates and roadblocks. Skip the minutiae; focus on the bigger picture. Maker Insight: Some teams swear by stand-up meetings; others prefer async updates. Experiment to find what works best for your crew. 5. Foster Open Communication Open, honest communication is the backbone of a well-aligned team. Create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts, asking questions, and addressing concerns. Team alignment gets shaky when team members hold back. So encourage candid conversations and set an example by being open yourself. 6. Reflect, Learn, and Adjust After every milestone (or roadblock), take time to reflect with the team. What went well? What didn t? What needs tweaking? Reviewing and iterating on the team s approach to alignment can only make things smoother. And hey, celebrate the wins big or small to keep morale high!

I get tons of "invitations" in my social channels and e-mail to vote for PH launches. Even if I respectfully deny, because I consider this a spam I still get messages like "it's just one click". I am sure lots of projects strive for that click and think that putting artificial clicks will change their business. It wont. Fake is a fake. I do support projects that I see posted and have a chance to try them. They of course need to contribute something to the areas that I am interested in.

I see this as quite a problem in principle. Given the situation in society, where it is easier to create and spread AI content, many conspiracy theories can be spread that tear society apart. Not to mention that advertisers' ads may find themselves in an environment that will harm the good name of their company. What's your take on it?
