... shipped? Five integrations now recognize the bugs people actually hit and prove the fix with a real before/after: Stripe, Paddle, Clerk, AgentMail, Descope. Not "we support the API," but "we catch the specific way it breaks." Chaos-order proof for billing webhooks. One of you asked whether we could prove a Paddle subscription survives webhooks arriving in any order. We built it, and then went deeper, to the failure devs actually fear: a paused customer silently getting their access back ... ... test coverage, then verified every suggestion against the real engine before trusting it. It surfaced 5 false positives we'd otherwise have shipped. We spent days trying to break our own work: malformed inputs, adversarial routing, the proof

... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative, not because they find it genuinely useful. The Fake Everything Problem LinkedIn has a trust problem that is getting dramatically worse, not better. In the second half of 2024, LinkedIn identified and removed 80.6 million fake accounts at the point ... ... just who has employed you. Where verification comes from the work itself rather than from unchecked self-reporting. That is a fundamentally different kind of professional profile than LinkedIn offers. And it is what builders increasingly need as the proof

... hiring manager, I couldn't trust resumes. My team wasted so much time on screening calls, only to find the candidates weren't a match. There was no real proof-of-work, and with AI now writing resumes, the noise is just getting worse. As a candidate, it was just as frustrating. My past work didn't help me get better roles; it felt like I was starting over every single time because my performance signals were buried ... ... company HR tools that no one could see. Badge is proof

... here. Most professions cannot show their actual work easily. Developers can. You can deploy something for free, document it properly, and let anyone in the world click through it. The problem most builders have is not a lack of proof of work. It is that the proof

... moments. Comment from Venkat A(@venkat_a2): Problem first, always. A slick demo with no obvious pain reads as a solution looking for a problem. The one we work on: companies accumulate happy customers much faster than they accumulate proof. A B2B case study takes 3-6 weeks of chasing, scheduling, transcribing, writing, and approvals, so most teams sit on hundreds of wins and publish three stories. StoryVoice collapses that: your customer talks to a voice AI for 5 minutes ... ... exactly the right swap! It's the same trap in enterprise IT and in most launches here, just dressed differently (feature list vs

... will pick up the phone, or a result someone can independently verify. The moment a claim can be checked, generated content has nowhere to hide. So the move is to stop competing on tone and start competing on proof. Specific, attributable, verifiable. Show the actual figure and where it came from. Name the user who will vouch. Link the thing people can test for themselves. AI floods the market with plausible. Checkable is the scarce thing now. Comment from Neal ... ... looking at the content itself. the difference will be in everything around it... who posted it, do they have a real history, are they in the comments replying to people, do they show up consistently. the content becomes proof

... everyone, I m soft-launching VeilScan today. It s a proof-based external vulnerability scanner for startups, SaaS teams, fintech products, and lean technical teams. The problem I m trying to solve is simple: Most small teams ship fast, but they don t always know what their external attack surface looks like. Traditional scanners often return long noisy lists, but not enough clear proof

... done, it lives on someone else's domain, or worse, behind a login screen you can't share. So when a recruiter or client asks "can I see your work?", the honest answer is complicated. The work exists. The proof doesn't. And that gap costs people jobs. I've been thinking about this problem for a while, which is why I built Krilarr - a verifiable developer portfolio platform that lets your work speak with evidence, not just screenshots. With ... ... Krilarr, developers can: Showcase real projects with verified proof

... doesn t need a savior complex Comment from B ra eker(@busra_seker1): @tonyspiro  Attention can bring the first users but the product still has to earn trust after that. Comment from Sourav Mahapatra(@sourav_mahapatra1): The framing 'before vs after the product' misses the actual mechanic. Brand and product compound in parallel when you ship work in public. The CEO building a personal brand without a product to point at is one thing. But by the time the product ... ... something that's still finding its shape. Ship something that actually works, get real results for real users, then build the narrative around proof

... Built something I think this community will find useful. Krilarr is a verifiable developer portfolio platform. You create Proof Cards, structured portfolio items that capture what you built, the outcomes it produced, and link to real evidence (live URLs, repos, metrics). Then you share one clean profile link instead of a PDF resume or a GitHub that needs explaining. The Pro tier ($3.99/mo) includes an AI Proposal Assistant that turns your Proof

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... They don't exist anymore. We also need to keep in mind the communication channels and the way we worked were different in the pass. 10 years ago, I did not know such things like Product Hunt and its alternatives

... they have an optimized website, and if they are showing up in AI search results like ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity. Each business gets a Need Score (0-100) so you instantly see who's desperate for help vs. who's already handled. No more guessing. But I didn't want a data tool; I wanted a closing tool.

Comment from M nevver Ertun (@munevver_ertuncc): I like the way you framed it around general vs tailored value, that s a really clean way to think about it. For products, it often feels similar: free should help users understand the value, while paid should unlock outcomes they can t easily get on their own.

Let's break down the reality. The Immediate Impulse: Seeking Concrete Proof The desire to know the truth after betrayal is understandable. When words feel empty, data can seem like the only source of objective reality. The thought process often is: "If I can just see the proof
