I'm a developer. And as a developer, I probably have a huge disadvantage: I see every product with an overly critical, perfectionist mindset. Meanwhile, no-code and AI tools are making it easier than ever to build software without technical skills. But here's the paradox: this shift favors non-technical makers over developers. Why? Because they don t care (or even think) about: that slow query that might crash under load; that pixel-perfect UI; that memory-hungry process; tha non-DRY code; that perfect payment integration; Etc... I know what you're thinking: "Dude, just build an MVP and launch fast." But that's not my point. Even if I try to move fast, as a developer, it's hard to unsee the flaws. So here's my real question: Are we in an era where people with fewer technical skills are actually at an advantage? To me, it definitely feels like an advantage for non-technical makers.

I think it would be great to DM fellow creators and technical enthusiasts for networking purposes and improving products.

There are creators I would love to reach out to and network with within the platform for ease of access, logging, and sharing launch details.
Could we add the ability to DM fellow contributors on Product Hunt?

Would anyone use this?
