Well this is certainly interesting, I wonder how their secrets were being stored, I assumed they were stored in vault and then injected with a sidecar, but I guess not
Re:Bugfix.es Launched on Thursday October 01, 2026 @06:55AM (#49920135)
Same problem space, but a narrower focus.

Bugfixes turns crashes into GitHub Issues or Linear tickets, raises their priority on repeats, alerts Discord, and adds optional AI diagnosis and a suggested patch. Sentry can do parts of that too;

I’m building an opinionated crash-to-ticket workflow, not a replacement for its whole observability platform.

This month I have mainly been building my fork of tiny-dfr so that my 2019 mbp touchbar isn’t useless when on hyprland/cosmic

https://github.com/keloran/tiny-dfr

Unfortunately due to the way GitHub defaults to creating prs in the parent fork, I have accidentally created a few invalid prs in asahi before I was ready, and now am banned from creating a good upstream one

I am going to assume based on the fact that the article is about Ireland, and Ireland uses the euro, the commenter is in Ireland

I am a software engineer with 25+ years experience,

recently I have been keeping myself relativly sane by building https://interviews.tools an interview planning site and its companion apps for iOS (native swift) https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/interviews-tool/id6756259187 Interviews.tool and Android (native kotlin) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tools.intervie...

source of all of those is available on github https://github.com/keloran

I have also built various tools over time for example https://flags.gg which is a feature flag system with a ton of native sdks, https://github.com/flags-gg

--

I don't mind doing technical tests but I hate technical interviews (where people have to watch me type) really if you want to know what kind of code I can produce look at my github repos, there is easily 100-200k lines of code

CV: https://keloran.dev/post/cv

I am a backend engineer with over 25 years of experience in almost every language at this point, but I have been mainly dealing with Go/Typescript for the last 5 years, I have a million projects and an absolute ton of code online

https://github.com/keloran

____

A good example of a project is https://flags.gg which is a multi-tenant/project/agent/environment system which has language support in Swift/Kotlin/PHP/Ruby/Rust/Go/React and is in use in things like

https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning system that has a website written in typescript/react and an iOS app written in Swift (hence the language support) which exists on the App Store, and an Android app written in Kotlin (again hence the language support) which will/should be in the play store by the end of next week (been through testing already just waiting for play store approval)

I would prefer not to do technical tests, you don't ask a surgeon with 20 years experience to cut someone up, you accept that yes they know how to do simple things like how to write a for loop (to stretch the analogy) as I have said I have hundreds of thousands of lines of code online if you want to check out my code

___

Software engineer for 20 years worked for very large and very small companies, willing to do 1-2 days a week in London, I have worked with pretty much every language at this point it seems, but always willing to learn more

I have various side projects

https://interviews.tools which is an interview planning tool to track what companies I have applied for, what stage they are at, have I heard back anything, working both offline (in browser localstorage) and signed in to allow multiple machines (open for anyone to use)

https://flags.gg which is a feature flag system that is multi-tenant, multi-project, multi-environment, multi-agent (e.g. development backend on a local machine)

and lots more

Show HN: Interview Tracking Tool

https://interviews.tools

I recently needed to start looking for work again, and as such I had 2 real choices when it came to tracking my interviews and their processes1. memory, not a good idea, I can't remember all the companies I've applied for2. spreadsheet of some variety to keep track of them, but then I can't do a quick lookup when I am walking the dog, and a recruiter rings to say "have you heard of company-y"So...

I recently became unemployed so I am building a tracker for all my job applications what stage I am at in each process that kinda thing

https://interviews.tools

It’s no where near done

But as always I am also building https://retro-board.it for doing retros and sprint poker

And https://flags.gg for feature flags with quite a lot of agents (rust, go, react, and others)

Re:Show HN: Flags.gg on Friday December 27, 2024 @04:20PM (#42526144)
Thank you for the advice

I do def need to make the landing page better

The API isn’t yet open, but the docs for the nextjs/react at https://docs.flags.gg

Re:Show HN: Flags.gg on Friday December 27, 2024 @01:52PM (#42524882)
Not quite finished yet, but ready enough to soft launch, its a React landing page (needs redesigning really), NextJS dashboard, Go backend

Its a multi-project, multi-agent, multi-environment flags system, that has (imo) generous allowances for free

There is a few things that are still in the roadmap

- Conflict Flags (turning 1 flag on, auto turns off a different one)

- Environment promotion (currently flags have to be added to each env)

- Server-side usage support (only React/NextJS frontend is supported atm)

You don’t need a loss to occur for there to be a crime “the trump defense”

Re:Ask HN: Show me your half baked project on Friday October 13, 2023 @06:11PM (#37876178)
https://todo-list.app https://github.com/todo-lists-app

Security focused todo-list, all data is encrypted (clientside) before storage,

still lacking quite a few features, (e.g it only does single list {per user}) I need to add project/multi-list support

Re:Ask HN: What email service should I use instead of Gmail? on Thursday December 08, 2022 @03:17AM (#33905580)
I quite like https://migadu.com mainly for its very easy to understand pricing system, when you have 5+ domains and domain aliases gmail becomes very very expensive and that’s before adding all the seats

the modules are usbc, but the ports themselves are thunderbolt you can plug any thunderbolt adapter into the port directly rahter than use the "usbc" module (if you wish)

the main issue with plugging into the laptop is dimensions, because there is only so much clearence

I tend to look elsewhere if companies want to do code tests, my answer to them is

“here is the many thousands of lines of code in my various GitHub accounts, don’t like the code, don’t hire me”
