I used to set up a meeting for literally every small update just because it felt easier than typing out a long explanation.

Then I realized half those calls ended up with everyone just staring at each other while I explained something that could have easily been a quick bullet point list in Slack. Now I try to ask myself if a quick text update can do the job before sending out a calendar invite.

How do you usually filter out unnecessary meetings from your schedule?

On Twitter, it is classic many of us follow YCombinator people, Angel Investors, or big indie makers.

The most popular are:

• Garry Tan

• Levelsio

• Marc Andreessen

• Marc Lou

• Michael Seibel

• Naval

Questions I get every single launch week:

"Why did it work in staging?" because staging doesn't have 4,000 real users hitting it at once.

"Why is the third-party API timing out at 2am?" because it always does, and nobody read their status page.

"Why did one guy get charged 47 times?" retry loop. No idempotency key. Classic.

Back around 2000 in Japan, you could stick "dot-com" on a company name and VCs would hand you money. I really looked up to some of those founders, and then I watched them on TV bowing their heads at shareholder meetings. One listed company I was doing business with got absorbed when its sales tanked, and the CEO got pushed out, right in front of me basically. Scary stuff. It's why I went with my own money and nobody else's.

When I hear "AI agent" now I get the same feeling. Some of these products are made by people who know the tech under them, and some just sort of happened, and honestly from the outside you can't tell which is which until a lot of users show up. I've run enterprise-size systems and that's when security falls over.

Same movie again, or is it different this time?

A 30 second 1080p video on our newest model costs 513 credits. The Studio plan is 1800 credits a month. So the honest sentence is that this plan gets you three of those and a bit.

Nothing on the pricing page says that. It says 1800 credits, which is a number nobody can convert into anything until they've already paid and spent a third of it on one generation.

Curious how people here handle this in practice. When an agent has a card or API budget for bookings and SaaS, do you use a hard daily cap, approve each charge, or something else? The acting side keeps getting better, but money controls still feel bolted on.

I built a journaling app, and while working on it I noticed that almost every app
in the category follows the same playbook:

Streaks. Counters. Badges. "Don't break your streak."

To be fair, they work. Retention charts don't lie.

But I kept wondering:
At what point does a habit stop helping people and start feeling like homework they owe an app?

I was wondering where I can see the last new posts on Producthunt. Especially the new projects that are being launched. I'm very much interested in the newest project, because the ones on top of the leaderbord already are known by many.
