Parents, what kind of technology do you let your kids play with?

We ve already talked a few times about how handing a child a tablet isn t always the best solution.

Meanwhile, some countries are starting to ban access to social media for minors (even my country is considering a ban up to age 16).

But there are certain technologies that can actually develop a child s talent and imagination through play.

Building a SaaS is 50% coding, 50% fixing the stuff you broke yesterday 😭

The real founder coding vibe:

  • You ship a small fix break 3 things

  • You deploy confidently production crashes

  • Local works perfectly Vercel says nah

  • You spend 1 hour coding 4 hours debugging

  • Slack notifications hit instant anxiety

Founders know the pain:
You re coding, marketing, fixing bugs, writing docs, and answering customer emails all at the same time.

What s your funniest or most painful founder-coding moment recently?
Let s vibe in the chaos

What’s the #1 thing you want AI to fix in your job search?

AI is changing hiring fast but it still feels broken.
If you could wave a magic wand and have AI instantly solve one job-search problem
What would it be?

Hello world

Hello everyone, it is very cool to be part of the ProductHunt community.

A little bit about myself:

I'm the father of 2 wonderful children, and the lucky husband of a smart and beautiful wife.

Thinking about human-centered AI?

Hey Product Hunt - I'm Dorothy.

Solo founder working from home in suburban Philly. Chickens in the yard, cavalier pup on the couch, teens who may or may not be in their rooms.

I've built products and strategy for companies like Comcast, Schwab, and Merck. Took a broadband startup to IPO, co-founded a national nonprofit with $300M+ impact.

I'm working on a SaaS platform and exploring whether Product Hunt is the right place to launch. But mostly I'm here to connect with founders thinking about human-centered AI: not just efficiency, but how we design systems that amplify human judgment instead of replacing it.

What inspired you to start a business?

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.

You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.

If you wanted to find talented people for your startup – where would you look?

In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.

How would you find these promising talents?

Do you think AI will replace recruiters in 6 months?

My LinkedIn feed has been a complete warzone - recruiters having existential crises, HR scrambling to "AI-proof" their jobs.

This feels like classic "AI will replace [insert job]" panic. But recruitment isn't just screening resumes and scheduling calls.
