Definitely! Getting valuable feedback to continually improve your product and building relationships in the PH community are the real wins. The badge is just icing on the cake for that hard work and iteration.

Definitely driving. Even with self-driving cars now becoming a reality, I wouldn't fully trust AI to drive me around, especially in busy city traffic or bad weather conditions. There are still too many unpredictable scenarios that require human judgment and quick decision making. I'd rather be in control myself than put my life in the hands (or algorithms) of an AI chauffeur. Maybe for simple A...

I'm using AI for various tasks - GPT-4 for writing code, generating content ideas, and refining my website copy. Also exploring AI image generation for visuals. It's been a huge time saver and really helps fill in my skill gaps as a solo SaaS founder.

Definitely focus on SEO basics - use relevant keywords in your app name, description, and content. TikTok is a great place to post short videos highlighting your app's features. And don't forget about ASO (App Store Optimization) - catchy icon, screenshots, ratings/reviews all help boost visibility on a budget!

Launching is always nerve-wracking! Remember though, you're not an imposter - you've poured your heart into this product because you know it solves a real problem. Focus on the value you're bringing to people. And hey, even clicking that launch button is a huge accomplishment! Worst case, you'll gain invaluable insights to make the next version even more awesome. You've got this! 💪

Small decisions definitely add up! Continuously making optimizations and tweaks in your day-to-day can have a huge cumulative impact on efficiency and results over time. Micro-decisions are underrated - their power comes from consistency and repetition.

I'd probably build a few different projects in those 2 hours each day to test out ideas and get user feedback. Once something gains traction, I'd focus more time on iterating and improving that winning idea. Gotta validate before diving too deep, ya know?
If you had 2 hours a day for a side project, how would you spend it?

I believe AI will revolutionize work in the next decade! Many jobs will be automated or assisted by AI, letting people work way less. Excited to see UBI and more leisure time become the norm. 🙌 Anyone else think AI will totally reshape how we work and live? Would love to hear other perspectives!

Engaging by providing value and building relationships is key! I try to be genuinely helpful in discussions, share knowledge when I can, and uplift others' contributions. Supporting each other's growth creates a positive community vibe. Outside of PH, Twitter Spaces and niche Discord groups are great for connecting too.
How do you engage with PH community, outside, other than requesting support for your product launch?

I find personal requests along with a thoughtful note about why you want to connect work well on LinkedIn. People are more likely to accept your request if you explain how you know them or share some common interests. Avoid generic connection messages. And once connected, engage with their content to build the relationship!
Do personal requests unlock connections on LinkedIn? 🔑

Definitely focus on your power users for early feedback. ID the 10-20% most engaged and reach out directly to build relationships. Schedule 1:1 chats to walk through their use cases and pain points. Dig into specifics on what's working and what needs improvement. Little incentives like swag or discounts can boost participation. The key is having those in-depth convos to really understand their...

Of course I enjoy coding - that's why I got into this field in the first place! But let's be real, the money is a nice perk too. Why not get paid well to do something you love, amirite? ;) That said, when passion becomes obligation it can start to feel like a grind. So I try to keep a balance and take on projects I find interesting and rewarding, not just the highest paying gigs. Do what you...

@Doric@duo2024 this looks like a super cool tool for visual artists. One question tho - do I need to be skilled in graphic design software to use it, or is it user-friendly enough for beginners? Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks and good luck with the launch!

AI will definitely change hiring, but I agree humans need to stay involved. Maybe AI could help screen resumes and suggest top candidates, but a human should always make the final decision. AI interviewers though... not sure how I feel about that! 😬 I think keeping the human touch is key.
How do you think AI will change the hiring process in the next few years?

Congrats on the launch! The Crypto Wiki seems like a super useful resource for people new to crypto. I've only skimmed through a bit but looks promising. Gonna dive deeper soon, but great job so far!

Yes, recruiting is super challenging as a founder! I've found referrals to be the most effective - ask your network if they know anyone great. Posting on niche job boards that target the specific skills you need can also help find higher quality candidates vs general sites. And agreed, don't rush the interviews - really dig in to assess skills, experience and fit. It's worth investing the time...
