But then your claim is immediately false. It's confusing at best, a loss of trust with the reader at worst.

Why is this in the front page of HN?

> The idea is that - Git server + YAMLess pipelines for CICD (...)

The first thing I see in the introduction [0] is a YAML configuration. What is YAMLess supposed to mean? I assumed it was "no YAML".

Speaking of taking things personal... which is visible by your patronizing tone.

> Maybe he's a great team player (...) and doesn't want people to touch what he builds for himself

Isn't that the exact opposite of being a great team player?

I had a boss who was "a great team player" once. We were both working for a rapidly growing startup and he was very open to suggestions on how to improve the system. So naturally when he started his own project I was very much eager to work with him again.

Turns out that it's easy to be a great team player when you are spending someone else's money and changing someone else's code. When I proposed changes to the system he built himself he took it very personal and all of a sudden he was not so open anymore.

It's easy to be generous with other people's money.

Just wait until someone reposts it with "blockchain" in the title...

Is that money worth the credibility they lost? The blue check used to be a status symbol, now accounts are putting out statements making it clear that they never paid for it.

After pushing to a branch, gitlab sends you back a URL where you can create the merge request (MR). This broke my flow because I do all my development using command line tools.

So I created this tool that opens an MR off the branch I'm on. It opens up my favorite editor and asks me for a title and a description in the same way that git does for commits. It splits it in first line for title and the rest for the body.

It's very simple but I'm very happy with it. Now I extended it to list the open MRs, show the tickets in the current sprint, etc...

Nobody else in my company uses it tbh, but I don't care because it solves _my_ problem and I love it.

Oh gawd, so much hate for asking someone to not insult another human being. Don't you think it's at least a little bit ironic that now you regulate what I can say to someone?

Please, don't use that language. You are talking about a dev who dedicated many hours to building a service for you to call them that only because they have a faulty redirect they haven't noticed. Give the feedback without assuming bad intentions, most likely the developer did not intent to "hijack" the back button, it's just a bug (when developing I don't follow links to my own website from a 3rd party page like HN and then navigate away from it, if you have a redirect on "/" to, for example "/home" it's very easy to miss)

Come on man, it's just a faulty redirect that gets in the way. Fair feedback for the dev, sure, but no need to assume evil and disrespect.

I found a couple here: https://github.com/midjourney/docs

I'm quite happy with the results of you.com (not affiliated in any way, just a happy user).

> Perhaps history will conclude killing Google reader killed Google, an overly-simplistic conclusion but poetically ironic nonetheless.

Or maybe it was an omen to their own decline.

To be fair, you are right, now, because when I first opened the discussion there was only 1 critic comment and the rest was overly enthusiastic praise. It really stood out from the usual tone of the discussions.

I didn't check every user but I did find a couple that had not posted anything in years until now. Makes you wonder.

Given the comments I'm used to seeing in general in HN, the over excited tone of the comments in this post makes me wonder how truthful all the praising is, or if they are related to the company in any way. Maybe HN is actually full of people who build internal tools and find this honestly awesome and a game changer.

An API to know what my dog is thinking.

I asked this same question some time ago and it went nowhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27278175

> as of this moment we even have stories with 3 votes in [the front page]. At the same time I've seen some stories go unnoticed with 9 votes in the "new" section.

Back in 2015 I worked at AWS for 3 years. I was assigned to a small team that was researching the state of web components and the feasibility of developing custom components to share across consoles. This same project that they now call Cloudscape. It's amazing the progress they made since.

It was such an honor to work with them, and even though little to none of my code must be there (I've heard it had to undergo a full rewrite) it makes me proud to have been part of that. It was a humbling experience to work alongside such smart people.

That's a bit harsh, while I don't agree with OP I don't think that your language helps in promoting a healthy discussion about what is reasonable to expect from a HN front-page post.

Also you say that "it's not HN job to entertain you". What is HN's job then? Because honestly I do come here to read things that entertain me.

Fair enough. I did share some of those expectations too tbh and it was indeed surprising that the solution was that simple. But to be fair it does not promise any of that and it does what it sets out to.
