One thing I struggle with is this:

Sometimes a candidate mentions a bunch of frameworks, libraries, or technical jargon that I haven't personally used. In that moment it's difficult to know whether they're genuinely experienced or just using buzzwords confidently.

As a founder, I don't know every technology out there, so evaluating depth versus confidence can be tricky.

What are the biggest challenges you face while interviewing candidates?

• Technical interviews?
• Cultural fit?
• Spotting exaggeration?
• Resume vs actual skills?
• Anything else?

I'd love to hear how experienced founders and recruiters deal with this.

A few years ago, building a feature and creating a demo for it felt like part of the same project.
Now with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc., I feel like feature development has become dramatically faster than demo creation.

I can build and ship something in a day, but then I still need to:
Create realistic data
Set up demo environments
Record videos
Take screenshots
Write landing page copy
Build demo pages
Explain the workflow
Sometimes the demo takes almost as long as the feature itself.

I’m curious how other builders are handling this.
When you’re shipping new features every few days (or every week), what’s your demo workflow?
Do you record everything manually?
Generate demo data with AI?
Build interactive demos?
Use AI agents to create demo environments?
Skip demos entirely and just ship?

It feels like development has been accelerated by AI, but product marketing and demo creation are becoming the new bottleneck.

How are you solving it?
