Ask HN: Why do so many devs struggle with launching their own product?

Sat, 04/12/2025 - 5:21am

I’ve talked to dozens of developers who can build incredible things, but few know how to market, sell, or validate an idea.

Why is that? And what are the most helpful resources or habits that helped you make the jump from code to business?

I recently put together a site on this topic: https://fromcodetobusiness.benxlabs.com – it’s a lead magnet + waitlist for a deeper guide. But first, I want to learn more from the community.

What advice would you give your past self before launching your first product?

Ask HN: Sharing SMB via Internet

Sat, 04/12/2025 - 4:31am

So I went to the official sysinternals site the other day, and found a link to a network share with all the tools. I curiously entered it in my run window and the share appeared. I copied the tools I needed.

Now:

1. I wonder - was it some Microsoft hack to allow using SMB via internet? I always thought that SMB is only local

2. Was I compromised? I mean is SMB encrypted? Could anyone inject anything or override the share to a malicious one?

Also found it but it seems incorrect: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/15uvaa0/how_can_i_create_a_smb_share_that_i_can_access/
