Would you hire a VibeCoder to work on your product?

I've been pretty impressed at the amount of products people (including myself) have been able to create which got me curious... do vibe coders or AI-primary builders have a place in a company or team?
My thinking is the more technically adept would work on the core-focus while vibecoders can assist with other tasks that shouldn't be the main devs focus...like a potential feature add, minor changes, or even exploring different ways of modifying the existing product.
I'm curious what you all think, would you hire a vibe coder?

What Part of Software Development Should Never Be Automated?

AI is becoming a bigger part of software development every day. It can generate code, write tests, review pull requests, and even help with debugging.

But I don't think every part of development should be automated.

Understanding user needs, making architectural decisions, solving complex business problems, and thinking creatively still seem to require human judgment.

I'm curious to hear different perspectives.

How many users do you need before you trust your product feedback?

When you re building your first product, it s easy to become too close to the problem. As the creator, you already understand how everything works, so it can be difficult to notice confusing parts of the experience.

That s why testing with other people is so important.

What are your tactics for making new connections online?

So many of us are hustling trying to get projects and ideas off the ground. We spend a lot of time contacting folks we don't know -- they may be potential advisors, customers, investors. I'm curious to hear what your best tactics are for making new connections online. One thing I like to do before approaching someone I don't know is spend time observing their behaviour on social media and understanding their interests, passions and projects. I'll try to create a compelling offer that I can couple with my ask. What are your tactics?

Do you check work emails on the weekend?

I know people who never miss an email, even on a Saturday night.

And I know others who won t even open their inbox until Monday morning no matter what.

How would you ensure your employees continuously learn about AI?

The world is moving fast. In tech, it s moving 10x faster.
Some jobs are already disappearing because AI is more efficient.

Companies are now facing a choice: adapt or fall behind.

In the United States, they re approaching this systematically.
The U.S. Department of Labour launched a new portal to help both employers and employees build AI skills through apprenticeship programs.

How to stay consistent on Product Hunt?

Today I celebrate a big milestone. 365 days in a row active on Product Hunt. Honestly, quite a number given how many things happened in my life this year, it feels like I could write a book about it.

But consistency takes effort. Here are 3 things that helped me:

How do you recruit beta testers?

TL;DR: we're building a product to help remote teams make decisions faster and I would love your help on how to recruit beta testers. - Hey, I'm Cl ment and I work full-time at a B2B SaaS co that's been around 5 years and done well. For a number of reasons, we recently decided to pivot. It's exciting and scary. We originally wanted to build the best knowledge base tool in the world. We've hit Product Market Fit, even while competing with big guys Confluence & Notion. We've grown steadily. We have net negative churn. 90% of revenue comes from organic (word-of-mouth, SEO, product-led). A few thousand teams sign up every month. But we want do better. We want to anticipate and solve the problems that our market faces. This brings me to ask for advice. We're developing a unique product for a small, growing, market we love: async-first teams. We bet that while the pandemic forced a lot of companies into remote, we can all learn from the companies that operate with a remote-first mindest. That means fewer meetings, and less time online overall. More time on deep work, and on living your life. The first piece of the puzzle is faster decision-making. So here's where the company's at now: - We are now 100% focused on creating the best communication tool out there - We are working with beta partners to improve our new release: Discussions, a tool for making decisions and resolving problems in the flow of work. Our success will massively rely on growing our beta waitlist. We hope this will lead to a big public launch of the new version. We're looking to recruit teams of 10+ employees for our (free) beta, that are ideally software/service companies. Geography doesn't really matter since they should be async-first. These are some initiatives we focus on to grow our waitlist: - Recruit teams within our existing users - Invest a lot in content and distribution we believe unique insights about remote will help us establish our position - Launch awareness campaigns on social (product tours, screenshots, call for beta testers) - Reach out to a selected list of "top remote companies" to ask for feedback - Reach out to "remote influencers" to get visibility on podcast, blog posts, etc. ** Do any of you have experience building waitlists? Out of curiosity, is anyone here interested in giving feedback about the product?** Thanks and looking forward to discussing it with you. - Cl ment
