As developers, it s easy to fall into the I could just code this in a weekend mindset.

But I ve realized time, maintenance, and support often cost way more than the price of the tool.

Still, sometimes I just can t justify paying for something I know I could make.

Not talking sci-fi AGI or Skynet vibes.
I m talking about what s already happening today  AI tools managing access, auto-approving requests, resetting credentials, even triggering deployments.
Basically, AI now holds the keys to your digital kingdom .

For me?

• AI-driven password managers + SSO  No more juggling 50 logins.

• Auto-approval bots in ITSM  Cuts ticket waiting from hours to seconds.

• Just-In-Time (JIT) AI access control  Permissions only when needed.

• Self-healing security agents  Patch and fix without a human in the loop.

Sounds amazing, right? Productivity skyrockets.

So here s something I ve been thinking about lately: with the rise of AI coding assistants, boilerplate generation, and one-click scaffolding tools are we heading toward a future where fewer developers are actually needed to build great products?

I don t mean tomorrow but maybe 5, 10, 15 years out. If AI keeps improving (and honestly, it s already kind of insane), will we still need large engineering teams? Or will smaller teams even solo devs be able to ship like never before?

I m not saying devs are going extinct (I m a dev myself ), but I do wonder:

• Will early-stage startups hire fewer engineers?

• Will AI handle more of the grunt work while we focus on product logic and creative direction?

• Could this shift what it even means to be a developer?

With AI, it seems to be everything possible:

Everybody is a builder, maker, marketer, founder, (vibe)coder/developer.

Hey PH fam!

Seriously is anyone else drowning in frameworks, libraries, plugins, microservices, and AI-powered everything?

We often discuss success here, including launches, traction, and growth hacks.

But let s talk about something else for a moment.

That one moment when it felt like it was over.

No funding. No traction. Silence from users. The team is falling apart.

Hi ProductHunters!

I m Nithish Kumar an innovative and results-driven AI Developer and Product Strategist with a distinct approach to solving business challenges through data and intelligence.

Yesterday I met an old friend after 2 years we had a ton to catch up on, and of course, I ended up excitedly rambling about AI and product tech .

He listened patiently, then hit me with a question I wasn t ready for:

Hey everyone!

We ve been building Voxiyo a simple voice note app that records, transcribes, provides you actionable insights and helps you organize and make sense of your thoughts with AI (think summaries, inbuilt todos, and even chatting with your notes).

We re exploring what to build next and would love your input.

Hello PH, I'm Jay, a first-generation founder.

I ran a product design agency for 4 years, working with dozens of series A startups to bring their products to life. Clocking revenues of over $10,000 per month at its peak.

When I was studying economics, we always said that we base the price on these basic things:

cost level

competition

prominence of the industry/product
