It is said that people should try to change jobs every 7 years so that they don't fall into a routine.

(E.g., a change can diversify work contacts, allow a person to learn new things, broaden their horizons.)

In other words... what are your capabilities?

What are your multi-project management skills?

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?

People spend a lot of time preparing for a product launch, but after every campaign, they usually look back and think, "We could have done this better."

Not because they didn't prepare, but because there were things they simply didn't know beforehand.

Over the past one, 2, or even 3 decades, technological development has accelerated dramatically thanks to the digital revolution.

But some technologies generate a lot of hype and still don t seem to have reached mass adoption or shown enough long-term potential. For example, that s how I currently see wearable glasses.

On the other hand, technologies and concepts like the internet, social media, artificial intelligence, and perhaps even Bitcoin have already had a profound impact on society.

Yesterday, I announced that I'm getting ready to launch my MVP.
For now, it'll only be a beta version, but I'm already thinking about things like pricing, plans, and all that fun stuff.
Right now, these are the options on the table:

• Freemium model (some features free, the rest behind a paywall)

• Monthly plan ( 7)

• Annual plan ( 59) with a discounted coupon

• Multi-license packages

What would you criticise, change, or add to the pricing? If you know about a very good plugin I can inspire from and build my own according to it, please, drop them in the comments  I want to learn from the best.
My second question is about dealing with users who complain about pricing. From what I've seen while working with another app, people always seem to have something to say:
"Make it free."
"It's too expensive."
"Do you have a discount?"
And one thing I see a lot: people strongly prefer lifetime plans (should I consider one?)
If you have any tips on how to handle these kinds of comments from users, I'd love to mentally prepare myself in advance. :D

I keep seeing the same pattern in product launches: "Now with AI!" slapped on everything like a magic label.

But here's what I've noticed from watching dozens of AI-powered products succeed and fail:

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

I'm not just talking about platforms pushing new features (like Instagram prioritising Reels over photos), but about the bigger picture.

There's so much AI-generated content now, and it's being produced at an incredible speed.

To avoid blending into the crowd, we've had to rethink our approach.
