Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Kevin, founder of Codeswtch.
I spent seven years building infrastructure at Google and X, and over the past year I’ve watched something incredible happen.
AI has made it possible for founders to build products faster than ever.
With tools like Claude, Cursor, Lovable, and Bolt, a single founder can accomplish what used to require an entire engineering team.
That's a huge step forward.
But after the first customers arrive, the questions start to change.
Not...
"Can we build this feature?"
But...
"Why is every new feature getting harder to ship?"
"Why are AI agents making the codebase messier instead of better?"
"Can a new engineer actually understand this repository?"
"Will this architecture survive our next stage of growth?"
"Are we building momentum—or accumulating technical debt?"
Those aren't coding problems.
They're engineering judgment problems.
That's why I built Codeswtch.
Our goal isn't to slow founders down with enterprise process or endless refactors.
It's the opposite.
We help AI-native companies preserve the speed that got them their first customers while building a foundation they can confidently grow on.
That's what Engineering as a Service means to us.
Not more engineers.
Senior engineering judgment, available when it matters most.
My belief is simple:
AI is making software creation cheaper than ever.
Engineering judgment is becoming more valuable than ever.
I'd love to hear from other founders and builders.
If you've built software with AI, what changed after your product started getting real users?

@kevinpickles This resonates — the gap between "can we build it" and "will this survive our next stage" is exactly where AI-built products stall, and framing it as engineering judgment on subscription rather than more headcount is sharp positioning. Launch tip: pages with a short video tend to convert better than text alone, so I made you one from your own site:
Save it and drop it into your launch if it's useful. It came out of FoxPlug (https://foxplug.com), which turns your real build and launch activity into narrated videos and ready-to-post updates. Congrats on shipping — hope today goes great.
