I’ve been a part of this community for fifteen years. Despite the yearly bemoaning of HN’s quality compared to its mythical past, I’ve found that it’s the one community that has remained steadfast as a source of knowledge, cattiness, and good discussion. Thank you @dang and @tomhow. Here's to another year.

7 by ovo101 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I built a CLI to benchmark DNS resolvers after discovering DNS was adding 300ms to my API requests. v0.3.0 just released with new features: compare: Test single domain across all resolvers top: Rank resolvers by latency/reliability/balanced monitor: Continuous tracking with threshold alerts 1,400+ downloads in first week. Quick start: pip install dns-benchmark-tool dns-benchmark compare --domain google.com CLI stays free forever. Hosted version (multi-region, historical tracking, alerts) coming Q1 2026. GitHub: https://ift.tt/RuPFkNU Feedback: https://forms.gle/BJBiyBFvRJHskyR57 Built with Python + dnspython. Open to questions and feedback!

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do you get over the fear of sharing code?

Ask HN: How do you get over the fear of sharing code?
11 by sodokuwizard | 15 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a junior. Truth be told, I don't really care if professionals/adults see my code or pick it apart/mock it/fork it or whatever. All my repos are private just because I worry about other students being lazy and just ripping my hard work and claiming it as their own. That really pisses me off when I hear some horror stories like that. Is this unfounded? Or do I have a right for some concern? It's obviously easier for viewers to just see public code repos and browse without ever requesting access so I know I'm losing some traffic (from my portfolio site) I was thinking the alternative would be just linking my demo on my portfolio site as a proof of concept that yes I made it, yes it works, and if you're curious , here's a link to the code u can request independently of github. Thank you in advance.
