I analyzed why 34 products that hit #1 on PH never made $1k MRR. And im lowkey disturbed

ok so weird backstory - ive been building products for startups for like 8 years now and i got obsessed with this question: why do products that KILL IT on product hunt just... die?

like were talking #1 product of the day, 1000+ upvotes, features in newsletters, the whole thing. and then 6 months later? dead or making $300/month

The State of Vibe Coding 2025 - Key Takeaways

The @v0 by Vercel team recently dug into industry trends to publish the first State of Vibe Coding report.

My key takeaways:

  1. Everyone can build: 63% of vibe coding users are non-developers, generating UIs (44%), full-stack apps (20%), and personal software (11%).

  2. Adoption is everywhere, with significant adoption rates in APAC (40.7%), Europe (18.1%), North America (13.9%), and LATAM (13.8%).

  3. 92% of US developers use AI coding tools every day

  4. 30% of new code at @Google is generated by AI

  5. 25% of @Y Combinator startups rely on AI-generated code

  6. Rapid expansion has a cost. Vibe coding apps keep hitting vulnerabilities: exposing secrets, access misconfigurations, hardcoded credentials.

  7. The future: going mainstream or hitting its sweet spot in working MVPs, the vibe coding trend is here to stay, and it's happening now.
