TheChelsUK commented on How do you capture WHY engineering decisions were made, not just what?    · Posted by u/zain__t

ADRs but give ownership to the team. They should sit in the repo most relevant, but a central repo called ADRs have issue templates and a readme which links off to all the repos and their ADRs - ADRs can not be approved and the issue closed until all the docs are in place. Everyone can see the open ADRs in the main repo and see issue and comment on them. Accountability is there if an assigned issue is open for days/weeks etc.

GitHub issues templates are perfect for ADR templates. All Hands for engineering is a great place to mention them and for teams to comment on the decision and outcomes.

We're going to at least restrict Show HNs for a while.

I do think this is relevant though: "HN can't be immune from macro trends" - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Please don’t forget that some AI generated posts are helpful for those of us with disabilities who can hope to keep an online presence via a pos dictated to an agent, or need help formulating sentences.

By focusing or restricting human only use you risk dehumanising those he need technological support.

Thoughts with the people who use AI to help construct their thoughts because their cognitive decline impacts the ability to construct words and sentences, but still enjoying the production of content, blogging and th indieweb.

These blanket binary takes are tiresome. There is nuance and rough edges.

NNW has been a stalwart app on all my devices and home screens for a long time. It just works.

More and more we need RSS feeds and this is the best app for consuming them for me. Happy Birthday.

I think the best way is you buy a software, and that version is supported "forever".

The developer then creates version n+1. The old version is kept supported, but new features go only into the new version, which you can optionally buy again.

Workingcopy app is a better model.

You can pay to unlock advanced features and keep them and any new features added in a year, after that any new features are paywalled for another unlock, and another +12 months, perpetually.

This would be a security breach and also gross misconduct.

Stupid.

TheChelsUK commented on Snyk is shutting down the securityheaders.com API   joetiedeman.uk/2026/01/22... · Posted by u/TheChelsUK

In April 2025, Probely announced that the Security Headers API will discontinued in April 2026. As far as we know, the free website service will remain available for the foreseeable future.

If you were using it for anything below, you now need an alternative:

CI/CD checks Automated estate scanning Compliance evidence Repeated audits without manual effort That’s why I am really excited to announce that alongside our existing services, we’ve released an endpoint to serve as a replacement for the Security Headers API.

This is why as an indie business you need business insurances that would pay out in cases like this.

I doubt anyone would work with this dev in the future, but lol it’s still quite funny.

This style of writing isnt human. Its AI.

^^ These dramatic statements are almost always AI influenced, I seem to always see them in people's emails now as well. "we didnt reinvent the wheel. we are the wheel."

You are absolutely right. It’s not X that’s the give away, it’s A, and B — moreover it’s C that is the clincher.
