Builder shipping products. Now SiftFirst

About

šŸ‘‹ 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: šŸ› ļø Building & shipping šŸ’” Simple solutions to real problems šŸ¤– AI that stays useful (not creepy) šŸŽÆ 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. šŸ“ Find me on LinkedIn. If you're building too, say hi.

Hi from a developer finally building his own products

Hi all, I'm Virko. For most of my career I've gone back and forth between founding companies and writing code, the last 8 years full-time as a developer. I'm now bringing both sides together to build products of my own that genuinely help people.

I'm here to learn from other makers, give honest feedback, and follow what people are shipping. If you're a solo builder or working with AI, I'd love to connect.

Still getting properly active here, so any advice for a newcomer finding their footing in the community is welcome.

Which tech company would you invest in because you believe in its profitable future?

Of course, before making any such decision, you d need to research a lot of factors, such as the political environment, who runs the company (CEO, CFO, etc.), its past track record, competition in the industry, and so on.

Lately, many tech giants have been moving toward IPOs (because they need funding more than we do), which made me wonder: which companies do you think have real long-term potential on the market and are actually worth investing in?

Are you a developer? (upvote the comment that's you)

A lot of people shipping apps in 2026 don't call themselves developers. Curious what the real split looks like here. Upvote whichever comment fits, I'll share the results in a few days.
