Developers should learn SEO not just marketers.
A website can have: • Clean code
• Fast performance
• Great UI
…but if search engines can't understand or discover it, you're still missing traffic.
Hot take from a developer:
SEO shouldn't be something you add after building a website.
It should be considered while building it.
Fast pages
Crawlable links
Good URL structure
Mobile-first UX
Technical decisions can become SEO
Do you involve SEO before development starts?
For SaaS founders:
Where does your traffic actually come from?
SEO
X/Twitter
Reddit
YouTube
Paid ads
Product Hunt
Word of mouth
Curious which channel is actually bringing you users—not just impressions.

Hot take for AI founders:
You shouldn't always build what sounds cool.
Sometimes the better starting point is finding what people are already searching for, then building around that problem.
Do you do keyword research BEFORE building an AI product?
Or after?
AI builders:
Would you rather spend 2 weeks building a new feature…
or 2 weeks getting your existing product in front of the right people?
I’m starting to think distribution is becoming just as important as development.
How are you getting organic traffic to your AI apps?
Most developers focus on building the product.
But here's the problem
A great AI app doesn't automatically get traffic.
You also need to understand what your potential users are searching for.
That's where SEO research becomes important.
AI developers:
Do you actually do keyword research before building an AI tool?
Or do you build first and worry about SEO later?
I’m starting to think knowing what people are already searching for can influence what you build in the first place.
What’s your approach?
