If you had to leave your current job and could work at any company, in any role, what would be your top 3 dream companies?

Here are my picks:

1. Anthropic - Arguably the most important company in history, and trying to build AI responsibly

2. Cursor - Some of the smartest engineers working across incredibly difficult technical and design problems

3. Linear - Super product-focused and seems like some of the highest density of talent ever

Six months ago HirePilot had zero organic presence. One person handling all of marketing. No budget for writers, no appetite for agency overhead.

The answer we landed on: build a system instead of hiring.

Here is what we run today. Airtable is the content database and the trigger layer. Every piece of content lives as a row in one table. The status field drives everything. Make is the automation engine. Claude API handles generation.

Recently I heard about a bold claim that's hard to ignore:

"Software is a commodity. Distribution is the only moat left."

And the data is starting to back that up.

From experience, I see that product makers most often rely primarily on just 2 things:
1. Social media (and ads on them)
2. Influencers and UGC

As if nothing else existed.

Product Hunt was created specifically to showcase what you do. But let s face it, with the progress of AI, there are more and more products and you don t have time to test them all (respect to @gabe , who does this job brilliantly).

I noticed that as my following grew throughout social media, more people contacted me wanting to test products. Of course, I don t have room for everyone, and what s even more shocking is that to get to me, they want to compensate me for testing.

Hey PH! I'm a bit obsessed with Pricing, and just started testing a new experiment for my startup, @Pretty Prompt:

Remove the monthly tier; offer only Free or Yearly (basically no monthly plan available).

I've noticed that more and more founders are building their personal brand and prioritising it over building their company's brand (the company account then just reposts the founder's thoughts).

I notice this especially with solo founders.
