Virko Kask's profile on Product Hunt

About

👋 Hi, I'm Virko. I've bounced between two worlds most of my career: building companies and writing software. The last 8 years full-time as a developer, but something was missing. Now I'm combining both to ship products that genuinely help people. What I care about: 🛠️ Building & shipping 💡 Simple solutions to real problems 🤖 AI that stays useful (not creepy) 🎯 SiftFirst (siftfirst.com) is my first serious solo product: explainable resume screening for small teams drowning in AI-written applications. You set the criteria, every score shows the evidence. Coming soon on Product Hunt. This is just the start. More building ahead. 📍 Find me on LinkedIn. If you're building too, say hi.

What are the most remarkable outcomes when being present on Product Hunt?

I remember the era when people on X started gossiping that this platform is dead. (IMO, they were just angry that some rules had changed and they weren't featured.)

I can speak for myself that, being here for more than 3 years, I have had many opportunities:

got free access to many tools or were sent physical products
had calls and touch with the members of the community and also the internal team, including the CEO
was encouraged to create a hackathon (last year)
recongition
there were also many missed opportunities from my side to hunt products
featuring in newsletter with 140k+ recipients strengthening my personal brand position

Do you actually let your AI agents run unattended, or do you babysit every step?

I run Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex most of the day, and I keep flip-flopping between two setups that both feel wrong.

Setup 1, babysit: I watch every command and approve everything myself. Nothing slips past me, but I'm stuck at the terminal and the whole point of running an agent is gone. I might as well be typing it myself.

Agents hand you five working versions. How do you pick the one that ships?

Any coding agent gives you a working version of a feature in minutes. Ask again and you get another one, also working, slightly different. Working stopped being the filter.

My rule is simple: I ship the version with the fewest moving parts, because I'm the one debugging it at 2am. Speed of writing means nothing against speed of fixing.

What's your filter? Curious if anyone has a better rule than simplest one wins
