Ask HN: Why is everyone in search of peak productivity?

Between coding agents and projects like OpenClaw, so many entrepreneurs, developers and businesses are salivating over the amazing productivity gains they're getting.

Why is "getting more done" so important? Isn't this an opportunity for people to reflect on _why_ they are doing things instead of just how much they can do?

I keep wondering what the ideal future state is for these people? It appears to be a frenzied battalion of agent-FTEs out interacting with other agents, spitting out mediocre thoughts, products and services at break-neck speed.

The obvious answer is obviously that productivity = money, but as a developer myself, the recent acceleration of AI tools has instead made me much more reflective and inclined to step-back, slow down and think rather than rush forward.

Show HN: A tool to create merch designs without Photoshop

Show HN: A tool to create merch designs without Photoshop

Hi HN,

I built MerchBanao while trying to sell merch online.

Image generators were good at creating artwork, but the output was rarely usable. I still had to open Photoshop to fix layout, add typography, remove backgrounds, and prepare print files. The generation step was fast but the workflow around it was manual.

So I started building a tool focused on the entire merch workflow instead of just generation.

You can: • generate a design from a prompt • edit layout and typography • refine backgrounds and composition • export 300 DPI print ready files

The goal is simple: go from idea to uploadable POD design in a few minutes.

I’m especially interested in feedback from people who sell on Etsy, Redbubble, Shopify, or similar platforms.

What parts of your workflow still require manual editing after using AI tools?
