Since 2025, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 15 times, most often “What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-07-15, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link it for posts on deployment and engineering practice, such as zero-downtime deployments with Docker Compose and a note on what job interviews taught about Kubernetes adoption.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Notes and opinions on programming, software engineering, infrastructure, occasional experiments, and other things I found worth sharing.

What Hacker News says?
The problem with this approach is that you now have to manage a secret key/secret for a (maybe) a very long time. I shared this article a few weeks ago, discussing the problems with this kind of approach: https://notnotp.com/notes/do-not-encrypt-ids/ I believe it can make sense in some situations, but do you really want to implement such crypto-related complexity?
