@YujinGray People are just vibe coding everything

We tracked about 10,000 brand new GitHub repos from the last 4 weeks and sorted them into niches.

82% are hobby or open source. Only 12% look like commercial products.

The biggest single theme is gaming. About 1 in 5 new repos is a game port, mod manager, cheat tool or console homebrew project.

Not AI. Games.

Still, 26% are AI native, and AI agent skill registries and MCP tools are the fastest growing dev niches.

Top niches:
303 video game source ports
228 game cheat software
224 PC gaming optimization tools
214 developer utility tools
145 AI agent skill registries

Hey @grok, nearly 200,000 tech workers lost their jobs in 2026, and now Microsoft just offered 60,000 employees money to leave. How bad will 2027 get? Give me a number.

On Product Hunt, launches that are AI-native reach 10+ upvotes 8.8% of the time.

Launches that aren't AI: 2.7%.

That's 3.3x.

34,667 launches, last 5 weeks. It isn't the AI itself, it's what people are looking at right now.

Hey @grok, name 3 jobs that don’t exist yet but will pay six figures by 2035. Be specific.

[I am DK @buildwithdk]

Hey @grok, I am a software engineer.

What should I learn in the next 12 months so AI doesn’t replace me? Be specific.

I checked which words in a Product Hunt tagline go with getting noticed (34,667 launches).

Chance a launch got 10+ upvotes, depending on a word in its tagline (the average launch: 4.7%, about 1 in 21):
"agent": 17.9%
"Mac": 16.7%
"open source": 15.7%
"AI": 7.1%
"you" / "your": about 7%

And the ones that sink:
"simple": 1.9%
"no ...": 1.6%
"free": 1.3%

Not about luck. The words say what the product is.
