Why HN links it

Commenters link this blog's articles on server-side git update hooks with Prettier and on HAProxy TCP/TLS detection of SSH over HTTPS, as examples for their own points.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

I'm an adult (AJ ONeal, to be exact); I do what I want! (mostly makin' Awesome with Golang, Rust, and NodeJS). Here lay the 11teen ways you can contact me and my articles.

What Hacker News says?

  1. I recommend the server-side `update` hook (much like `pre-receive`, but a little easier to use and more flexible). Here's an example with Prettier: https://coolaj86.com/articles/server-side-git-hooks-for-code...
