I find it more difficult to get into "flow state" as the AI agents are continuously "distracting" me. Similarly to managing a team of 5 excellent engineers with poor communication boundaries.

Yeah, I think Booking.com need to address it on their end too. Especially if these exploits become increasingly sophisticated. So far they haven't responded to my contact.

As a parent of a 9 year old I often find myself keeping them on a short leash and need to consciously give them the freedom they crave. Reading these articles help me be more aware and courageous.
Ask HN: Does your employer require everyone to use the same AI model?

Re:Ask HN: How do you handle marketing as a solo technical founder?

From my experience building a product that is so good that it sells itself is highly unlikely and you will need to spend a good deal of time on marketing.
If you are building a B2B product you could go through direct sales channels and speak to the prospective customers yourself. Get out of your comfort zone and reach out to them directly. In the worst case they will ignore you or tell you that they are not interested. If you are building B2C I think it is significantly harder.
As others mentioned, first you need to find your customer and then build your product. This way you have some guaranteed revenue and (more importantly) feedback.
