It is a question of choosing between two evils for us now. Neither option is completely free of flaws.
Human: Recruiters with "gut feelings" who harbor unconscious bias. they reject excellent candidates who just didn't go to the "right" school or didn't just "click." Inconsistent, unfair, and un-auditable.
AI: Algorithms whose training datasets are themselves replete with historical biases. They increase the scale of discrimination at light speed, becoming so-called black boxes that end up rejecting qualified candidates for reasons that humans cannot even fathom.
We are truly deciding to exchange messy, subjective human prejudice for cold, ruthlessly efficient algorithmic prejudice. Is that really an upgrade?
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)
1/ The ultra-planners. hey schedule everything down to the minute, know who they re meeting three months from now, and already have their 2027 summer vacation mapped out.
I am Nishargo, one of the builders behind Bolo which is a voice-based emotional insight tool built for people like me, like you, like all of us who sometimes just need to be heard.
I've been pretty impressed at the amount of products people (including myself) have been able to create which got me curious... do vibe coders or AI-primary builders have a place in a company or team? My thinking is the more technically adept would work on the core-focus while vibecoders can assist with other tasks that shouldn't be the main devs focus...like a potential feature add, minor changes, or even exploring different ways of modifying the existing product. I'm curious what you all think, would you hire a vibe coder?

Hi everyone! Please welcome today's Maker's Corner feature, @kian_karazmoudeh , Founder of @YoinkUI
Feel free to chime in below in the comments with questions on his product or journey or anything else that comes to mind!
Tell us about what your product is and what makes it special?
YoinkUI lets you copy any UI component from any web page and converts it to react + tailwind so you can use it in your own projects. What makes us unique is It doesn't rely on AI to "try" and replicate the UI, it gets the styles directly.
What inspired you to build your product? What problem were you trying to solve when you built it? Has that evolved?
I ve made many AI wrappers in my indie hacking journey, and most of them flopped hard. This month I launched YoinkUI to do just one simple thing. The crazy part is that sooo many people actually loved the idea and resonated with the pain of dealing with AI slop.
As a solo developer, I found myself spending way too much time focusing on UI, rather than creating features that actually matter. Everytime I tried to ask AI, it came up with generic and boring styles. So I thought to myself, I wish I could just take an existing landing page and modify it to fit my needs. That's how YoinkUI was born.
What s a feature or detail you obsessed over that most users will never notice but you're really proud of?
Most DOMs contain hundreds of invisible elements that don't affect the UI. Coming up with a mechanism that removes all those elements without breaking the layout of the page proved to be more difficult than I anticipated. This is one of those features which you won't notice is there, until it's not. Then you'll definitely notice.
What s something that didn t make it into your product for this launch, but you'd like to build?
I want to add an AI agent to help with updating the copy and styles of the yoinked page/component. So you Yoink a landing page and tell the agent "hey change the copy to match my own product, and make the theme purple" and it will do it.
Is this your first product? If not, what else have you built, or are currently working on?
This is my second product. I realized the need to build YoinkUI while building my first product actually. It was a competitor marketing analysis tool, but I abandoned the project.
What s your secret weapon or go-to when you get stuck while building?
Going for a walk or taking a shower always helps me clear my mind and oftentimes the solution comes to me instantly afterwards.
When did you decide to launch on Product Hunt, and how did you prep for it? Do you have any advice for someone thinking about launching?
I had been thinking of launching for a while. I was very confident in my product so I launched within a few hours notice. It hasn t even been a month yet and I ve gotten 1000 users. My reddit launch post went viral getting 200k views. I placed 4th product of the day on Product Hunt, despite basically having no audience.
In hindsight I wish I had set up a teaser page for a few days, and promoted my launch on my site and told some friends. That's exactly what I recommend people do.
What's the most surprising or unexpected learning and/or feedback you've received?
Sometimes the things that seem obvious to us, are not to our users. I gained some really valuable insight as to how people use my product by talking to them and the parts of the interface I can make clearer.
Share a few Products and/or Makers that inspire you and why.
@jackfriks and @marclou are huge inspirations. Love their enthusiasm and energy and the way they tackle problems.
Do you spend 3 hours trying to find a clever .com before writing a single line of code? Or do you ship the MVP and slap on whatever domain wasn t taken at the time?

Whenever I m about to buy something (especially something more expensive), I can be easily influenced by recommendations from people I trust and know. That might be well-known accounts on X or suggestions from friends.
