shelika··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)
An AsciiDoc parser and a few converters (html, manpage, terminal).

https://github.com/nlopes/acdc

Still lots to do but I've been having a lot of fun.

shelika··on Show HN: Engineering.fyi – Search across tech engineering blogs in one place
Biased as I work for them but I think https://incident.io/blog/engineering is definitely worth adding.
shelika··on Security.txt Validator
An easy on the eyes (at least for whoever prefers dark mode) validator for your security.txt needs.

Including signed ones.

Parser is pretty much an implementation of the ABNF grammar in the RFC.

Nowadays I write rust so this is all rust (crawler and server).

Frontend is a mix of tailwindcss with htmx.

shelika··on Avoid using "It Depends"
Touche.
shelika··on Don't be afraid to be wrong
Indeed. I was willing to leave it in and get this feedback. Well observed
shelika··on Don't be afraid to be wrong
I think my intent is less different from what you stated on how it comes across.

Especially this bit "I’ve worked with people who are so unafraid of being wrong that they can’t be trusted.". Hopefully the article doesn't come across as "be mindless" in the workplace. In fact in the conclusions I state that this is no substitute for hard work and thinking critically.

> "first construct a hypothetically ideal workplace and then explain how to operate"

I don't think this is what I stated but I know it wasn't the intent. Hopefully, working on a psychologically safe workplace isn't hypothetically ideal.

I'm definitely learning a few tricks on what I should be clearer by reading the comments though so thank you.

shelika··on Don't be afraid to be wrong
Author here. I really hope it doesn't come across as "blurt out falsehoods with confidence all the time"- I do mention in the conclusion that this is no substitute for working hard and thinking critically.

Definitely agree with all you said.

Scraping your wishlist print page. Caveat: the prices will be shown as if I was a user living where my server location is (it actually varies a lot).

I had added this yesterday but forgot to add the Show HN :(. Adding it here again. Apologies for the repost.
shelika··on Amazon Wishlist Stats
This was a christmas holiday project. Wanted to look at Go from a web development perspective but it actually ended up being more about web page scraping. I am aware that amazon already allows you to see the total but again, this was more an exercise in web development than providing a new feature.
