Am I making a mistake building Superhuman for devs?

I have been cranking out apps for the past few years and loving it.  Then one morning a week or 2 ago I got a little ambitious and decided to build a desktop email client because outlook was so-so and superhuman was ridiculously expensive.  

Is this a big mistake?   Am I wasting my time ?

Do you still know how to build anything without AI? (Or are we outsourcing our “taste” too?)

I m noticing something weird happening in solo dev land.

We used to compete on:

  • remembering docs

  • knowing frameworks

  • being a better coder

Now it feels like the real edge is:

Everyone Thinks AI Will Replace Us. They’re Wrong. Here’s Why. 🫡

Most people think AI will take over every tech job, and knowing code is irrelevant I strongly disagree. Let me explain why.

AI can write code faster than most of us, sure. But three skills matter more than ever in a world where everyone just vibes it:

Jolt AI is joining Ramp

BOOM! Expense management startup @Ramp acqui-hired @Jolt AI to "help its engineers build faster."

@karimatiyeh on X:

"Build faster." Yep, that about sums it up. We want Ramp engineers to be as productive as possible, firing on all cylinders. Jolt is pushing us even further in that direction. High. Speed. Development. Velocity. That's the move here.

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

From Project Manager to Maker - chasing my dream as a developer

Hey Makers,

I recently left my project management job at a big company to follow my dream of becoming a solo developer and maker. I m still new to this community, but it already feels like home.

So far, I ve been building projects mostly around AI and Education:

  • BookChunk: an AI tool that summarizes, quizzes, and chats with PDF books (still refining summary quality and reducing costs).

  • Xformly: turns Excel sheets into online forms (currently struggling with large file handling).

  • MiniDocuments: my latest launch - short, step-by-step tech PDF tutorials for fast learning.

  • Now I m working on my next idea - AI-generated tutorials - and honestly, it s full of challenges.

AI in your IDE (e.g. Cursor) vs AI in your terminal (Claude Code) — what’s the better flow?

AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like @Cursor and @GitHub Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using @Claude Code to generate commands, scripts, or entire files. Both have their fans, but which one actually helps you move faster?

Curious what flow people are sticking with long term, and where you see the most gains (or frustrations).

What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.

What questions do you have about A.I. that you're too embarrassed to ask?

Hi all. Sarah here, Head of Content @ Product Hunt. I'm starting up a new article series in our AI newsletter, Deeper Learning, called Ask Kitty. It's a place where you can ask the questions you've been wondering about A.I. but have been too shy to ask. Why? One thing I've learned about A.I. is that a lot of people in tech assume you know a lot of things, and very few people actually know the things (or know them in-depth enough to explain them simply). Sometimes this dynamic prevents us from asking questions. And asking questions is one of the best ways to reduce our knowledge gap. And yes, you could ask ChatGPT, but based on my experience you're unlikely to get the full context you need. Not only will I work to answer your questions, I'll work to find the right people to help me answer them! So ask away!
