I ve noticed that my workflow has changed completely over the last year. I rarely start a new project with a blank file anymore. Instead, I pick a template, reuse snippets, or let an AI helper suggest the structure and then I just vibe my way through the build.
It s faster, but sometimes I miss the old blank screen energy, when every line felt handcrafted.
I m curious what you all devs and founders are relying on day-to-day in 2025. With the flood of new ai tools, it feels like every tool looks different depending on industry and workflow.
What s ai tool working well for you right now?
Which AI tools actually save you time?
Which ones did you try but drop?
Would love to see how other folks are stacking their tools this year.
According to the 2025 @Stack Overflow Developer Survey (49,000+ participants), @VS Code and @Visual Studio remain the most used dev environments, despite the rise of subscription-based, AI-enabled code editors @Cursor and @Windsurf among others. Both maintain their top spots relying on extensions as optional, paid AI services like @Github Copilot and @Kilo Code.
Curious which IDE the Product Hunt community uses the most?
At a time when everyone allows themselves to build any solution using AI, it is difficult to differentiate themselves, and makers are betting on more aggressive distribution.
Some differentiate themselves with good tech support, some build their personal brand as a founder, and some pay influencers.
No, we re not reevaluating our database, but since we launched Shoutouts, Supabase has been among the most shouted out products ever. If 2024 was the year of infra, @Supabase is at the forefront. At the same time I ve been hearing more about @Neon (17 shoutouts including several top-5 apps, like @Central (YC S24) ). I m curious: which did you choose (something else?) and why?

Networking is essential to business success. The more we interact with others, the more we become aware of the opportunity for growth. The networking can happen anywhere and be successful. But we have LinkedIn & Twitter (the online networking) it's much more complicated. It has to be strategic, structured and planned, all without going too much into self-promotion or excessive presentations, the best practice is to make yourself known while discovering the others! how do you do it?
This is not your typical reference book. Instead, I'd like to show you that you can write a good technical blog and earn money with just a little bit of knowledge. I only cover topics of which I have firsthand knowledge and how to send powerful cold emails/DMs
I want to help you choose the right developer tools for your SaaS or side projects. my honest, in-depth reviews cut through the noise and give you the info you need.
