Product Makers: From Vibe Coding to Production with AI ‍

The shift towards using AI tools for building real, production-grade software is giving rise to a new kind of builder known as the Product Maker, who doesn't fit into traditional roles but understands software and user experience.
Product Makers employ 'vibe coding', working alongside AI tools to quickly translate design intent and user flows into functional code, reducing friction and enabling rapid idea realization.
Although working in cross-functional teams remains essential for product development, Product Makers can now test ideas, prototype features, and propose solutions with real code before involving the full team, leading to better alignment and time efficiency.
The use of AI tools, like those mentioned, empowers Product Makers to not just manage features but build them, leveraging these tools to interact with modern product building blocks, debug, test, and ship software effectively.

Why Your Favourite Websites Are Lying to You (And By The Way It’s Totally on Purpose)

Many websites use fake urgency tactics like 'Only 1 left!' or 'Someone from Cape Town just bought this!' to manipulate users emotionally, but most of it is not based on real data and is created by front-end coding.
Developers often implement these tactics based on marketing directives to create a sense of urgency and influence user behavior, even if the information displayed is not accurate.
Such tactics might include fake loading animations or false claims about limited availability, which can impact how users perceive the urgency of making a purchase.
