Startup Founder 2.0
Hey everyone. My name is Talha Masood and I am a second time founder. Previously I built Remotebase[dot]com and raised $2.7 million for my startup.
I am now building an AI editor to help interviewers assess vibe coding skills in software engineers. I myself vibe code every single day, even though I have more than 10 years of experience writing code. I believe that software teams can now move 10x faster if they're using the right AI workflows and tools.
Here are a few facts about me:
I have launched close to 10 times on Product Hunt
I organize a lot of IRL events in San Francisco. My latest event is happening on April 24th. Here's the link to it if you're interested - https://lu.ma/5s9vc24j
I can write code 10x faster than an average software engineer by using the right Vibe Coding tools. Please challenge me. P.S. I came up with the number 10x out of thin air lol. But I do a lot of Vibe Coding
I am also looking for a technical co-founder right now.
Excited to meet you all. Happy to help anyway I can.

Welcome, Talha!!! cc @timcha you should try to get coffee with Talha while you're here!
Also check out our newly-created p/vibecoding sub-forum!
What's your current vibe-coding setup? (maybe worth a separate post, but I'm curious the highlights - e.g. windsurf/cursor/augment or replit/lovable/bolt? specific models?)
Followed you so I get notified when you launch :)

@timcha Thanks for reaching out. I am going to respond there :)
@rajiv_ayyangar Thanks a lot for the intro and your kind words.
My vibe coding setup involves cursor and I have setup my own MCP server for context gathering. Before giving any prompt to cursor I do a lot of brain storming with ChatGPT's O3 mini. Which generates technical specs at the end for me to give to cursor.
I use all sorts of LLMs for coding. I am not just tied to Claude. Recently, LLAMA4 came out with a context window size of 10M (that's what I've read). This should allow us to input large codebases as a part of the prompt. I am excited to see how this pans out. Because frankly this can eliminate the need for generating embeddings for the codebase.
I will create a different post in the Vibe Coding channel.

@masoodtalha7 "I have setup my own MCP server for context gathering" - I want to hear more about this!
@rajiv_ayyangar I will share my thoughts in a separate thread. Right now I am in the process of finding out what aspects of it is working for me. I am excited to write about this as a new post

:wave: , welcome!
10 launches is awesome. makes me wonder who has launched the most actually. What was your worst of the 10 launches and what did you learn from it?
@catt_marroll None of the launches was bad. But there were some where I was not able to get the desired output i.e. getting early users. Maybe the product did not resonate with the audience or it was just a bad day. Later I realized that most decisions in life are reversible. So are PH launches. You can always launch again with new features.
Hello Talha it's fantastic to hear that you had 10 launched but could you tell me what the best launch is From your POV
