QA clarity for teams that ship fast.
2 points

About

After years leading QA in startups and growth teams, I founded Ashlight to help teams ship with confidence. I partner with engineering to establish practical QA habits, risk strategies, and automation that sticks. The phoenix is our north star: learn fast, improve, and come back stronger. In practice, that means I embed with your software development life cycle (SDLC) in hours - not days: clarify acceptance, map risks, stabilize tests, and leave behind artifacts your team can keep using (checklists, test data recipes, frameworks). The results: Faster cycles with fewer surprises. Cleaner demos that really shine. Scalable documentation to continue to grow.

Howdy from a St. Louis QA Professional!

Hey Product Hunt! I m Ryan. After 12+ years in QA - across healthcare, automotive service, and security-focused B2B - I started Ashlight, my QA consultancy.

Outside of QA, I love watching anime and Tokusatsu with my wife, creative writing, gaming, and toying with electronics.

If code is easier to generate, what roles become the real bottleneck now?

Being an engineer myself, I see that many people are outputting more code than ever. Some of it being generated vs. written, the volume of code being outputted has definitely risen. 
There seems to be a shift from "is this something we can build?" to "should we build this and ship it?"
For people who have been recruiting or looking to recruit recently, what roles are you hiring for? 

  1. Role title (I've seen a rise in PM's and Designers personally)

  2. What exactly can they do that AI can't (yet)

  3. Specific signal that you look for when hiring

Are you moving headcount from one type of role to another? 
Would be interested to hear from other growing teams!

Which cities outside of SF are becoming large Startup Hubs?

I've recently seen more cities that are growing teams and building offices that seem to be growing rapidly? 
SF seems like it's one of many hubs that have been growing in the recent years. I'm trying to see which cities people are looking into and where people think will be the next startup hub? 
I've seen mixed opinions on cities like New York and Toronto but would love to hear what other people think as well!
