I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).

I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.

It will sound like something from prehistoric times, but in my country, the vast majority of employers give women lower salaries than men. Fortunately, I don't feel it that much because I work with foreign clients, but I don't think it's fair.

(But we probably all know why this is the case less is invested in women, because it is expected that they will go on maternity leave one day and therefore have no prospect of staying in the job longer compared to men, where the continuity of work is higher)

Everyone focuses differently. And for a lot of people, where and how they work makes a huge difference.

Some need silence. Others need background noise. Some can t stand the cold, others lose focus if it s too warm. Coworking spaces? Only if they have the right vibe. Offices? Only if colleagues aren t interrupting every five minutes.

The world is changing incredibly fast, and I feel like this is true for the tech world in many ways.

Everything seems to be outdated so quickly.

How do you manage to react quickly to changes and not fall short of the bar?

Things in AI move so fast, it s almost absurd. Blink, and there s a new wave of tools redefining everything.

And somehow, since the start of 2025, we ve already seen:

One of the most common questions I get from founders is:

Which day should we launch?

I originally came to Product Hunt just to launch a product. But the more I explore, the more I realize this is a really interesting community. There are lots of great ideas, smart people, and valuable discussions.

The thing is... I still feel kind of invisible.

I ve posted a few times. Some posts got a few upvotes, but barely any comments or replies. It feels like I m talking into the void.

So now I m wondering:

There s something about summer weekends that just opens things up.

Unlike winter, where things can feel a bit more limited unless you re into skiing or snowboarding, summer offers so much more flexibility.

A few years ago, I got into a company that had been on the market around for 7 years and was a bit of a love brand among open source apps.

Then the company was bought by an Israeli company and I saw how the quality of the apps, the way they were managed and the monetization model went downhill.

I recently came across some news:

Claude for Financial Services officially launched in mid-July. It s designed specifically for the finance industry, integrating data from platforms like PitchBook, Morningstar, Snowflake, S&P Global, and Databricks to support market research, due diligence, and investment decisions. During early testing, Claude Opus 4 hit 83% accuracy on complex Excel tasks.

It really makes me question how much room there is left for AI Agent startups ----LLMs are getting better at handling more and more tasks on their own.
For an AI Agent to have long-term value, it must be able to understand, remember, and adapt to a user's evolving preferences and context ---- something LLMs still struggle with due to their limited memory and continuity.

I ve spent the last few years helping startups grow, especially in early-stage environments where resources are tight and speed is everything.

If you ve worked at a startup, you probably know what it feels like.

You re not just doing growth.

You re also writing copy, designing landing pages, running email campaigns, building automations, fixing bugs, and sometimes even playing IT support.

Hey PH friends,

I come from a business background, mostly focused on growth, marketing, and helping startups scale.

Like many solo founders, I ve always relied on teaming up with someone on the tech side to bring ideas to life.

But recently, a few friends challenged my usual approach.

Possible platforms where you can launch have been discussed here several times.

Of course, it brings benefits for SEO (backlinks), visibility (more content, awareness),...

Common Sense Media published a report on this topic, and it reminded me of how big a bubble I live in.

When Meta announced back in 2024/2025 that they wanted to create AI avatars to boost engagement, I was skeptic, but data speaks clearly  young people enjoy AI interaction.

Sometimes I wish I had a clear answer to this question, but... I don't :D

A lot of people ask me in DMs what to do and when the best time to start.

Do you have any habits or hobbies that keep you from being constantly immersed in work?

Ideally, something that helps you unplug from the internet.
