One of everyone's biggest nightmares is losing data.

It seems like I ritualistically deal with this every 6 years when my external drive fails, and then I have to get the whole history back (expensively).

I bet you learned and experienced a ton over the past 365 days. All those lessons are pure gold you can carry into the future, especially into 2026.

So, what s the single most valuable piece of business advice you would give your 2026 self right now?

I have been using Duolingo for almost 3 years to learn a language, but I don't know anything at all.

Of course, I have some basic vocabulary from the vocabulary words, but it's not conversational level. I'm currently considering buying textbooks and workbooks.

The world is changing rapidly due to AI and technology.

New generations (and not only they) have to adapt to changes in the job market.

I know that many of us at PH have a founder mindset.

Hi PH friends,

I'm about to open an online music instrument store, and building the store has been challenging due to several changes in programmers during the process and numerous delays. However, I can now finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Whenever I click through to the social media profiles of the makers in the product hunt community, I find that they are quite versatile and are involved in things other than just business.

What other skills do you have besides your work skills?
