HiPhish's Workshop: Blog is a personal blog at hiphish.github.io about programming and systems. Since 2022, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 9 times, most often “Grayjay is not Open Source”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-05-01, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link HiPhish's blog posts on Common Lisp package management and HTTPS workarounds for Quicklisp, plus posts on XDG base directory support in Bash and on programming languages in the AI era.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Operate directly on ASTs? An optimal language that is "hard" for humans to use (hardly), but a good fit for LLMs? No need to reinvent the wheel (endlessly). These guys have been at it and carrying the flag for a very long time now (they're probably pretty exhausted): A Programmable Programming Language https://cacm.acm.org/research/a-programmable-programming-lan...

HN discussionSolutions for the lack of https: - add in https://github.com/rudolfochrist/ql-https (downloads packages with curl) - use another package manager, CLPM: https://www.clpm.dev (or the newest ocicl) > CLPM comes as a pre-built binary, supports HTTPS by default, supports installing multiple package versions, supports versioned systems, and more. - use mitmproxy: https://hiphish.github.io/blog/2022/03/19/securing-quicklis…

HN discussionFor https, we can now use the newer Lisp Package Manager: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clpm/clpm (or use a mitm proxy: https://hiphish.github.io/blog/2022/03/19/securing-quicklisp... )
