Too few sampled comments (9) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Mostly company hiring posts on HN, plus linked Codurance articles on a local NuGet repository guide, the Jenkins UI breakage, the 'Office Hours' meetup format, and outside-in TDD.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 9 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
We help private and public sector create innovative solutions, improving agility while driving growth and impact, with people and processes in mind.

HN discussion> "although can you easily add new repositories for nuget?" Yes. Here's a guide showing how to create a local Nuget repository: http://codurance.com/2015/05/04/creating-a-local-nuget-repos...

HN discussionI did a technical review of our Jenkins solution with a friendly neighborhood InfoSec agent once. He was interested in a few things: 1) how is the stored credential being encrypted (is it encrypted at rest), 2) is it real encryption (like, does it use an actual encryption algorithm or is someone confusing base64 or rot13 for encryption) 3) where is the encrypted data stored, where are the keys stored, is it properly…

HN discussionThis post starts with the implicit assumption that the normal structure for a meetup is a talk. Is it? I don't go to many meetups, but by far the best are the ones structured for peer discussion, not lecturing. Extreme Tuesday Club has been doing this for decades: https://exubero.com/2018/12/16/joes-farewell-to-the-extreme-... The London Software Craftsmanship Community round table meetings are similar: https://www.…

With that particular style of TDD, the trick to doing it well is to let the design _emerge_. In my experience, AI coding agents are trained to do precisely the opposite of emergent design. Cody, at least, convinced me that it's impossible for a coding agent to restrain itself from delivering a fully…

HN discussion> …I’m sure they exist somewhere as a prototype in someone’s public Github… Coincidentally, the Spring of last year for fun I designed and built a Visual Studio Code extension that does something close to what one of the tools the OP talks about does. Aside from needing the features of the extension itself, my second most important goal for that project was to see how well "Agentic Coding" could follow Sandro Mancus…
