Project mention: Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-02Very impressive, and at the same time very scary because who knows what security issues are hidden beneath the surface. Not even Claude knows! There is very reliable tooling like https://github.com/ory/hydra readily available that has gone through years of iteration and pentests. There are also lots of libraries - even for NodeJS - that have gone through certification.
In my view this is an antipattern of AI usage.

Project mention: My Journey with the OSS.GG Hackathon: A Fulfilling Open Source Experience | dev.to | 2024-10-28Participating in the OSS.GG hackathon has been an exciting and enriching experience. Engaging with projects from multiple partners like Dub, Formbricks, Hanko, OpenBB, Papermark, Twenty, and Unkey offered me the opportunity to explore the vast landscape of open source. Through this hackathon, I didn’t just contribute to code; I also got hands-on experience in non-code contributions, which opened up new avenues for collaboration and learning.

cli
🧰 A zero trust swiss army knife for working with X509, OAuth, JWT, OATH OTP, etc. (by smallstep)
Project mention: Setting up a trusted, self-signed SSL/TLS certificate authority in Linux | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-17I previously used openssl-based scripts to generate certificates to use for local development or applications on a private network. I have since moved to using the step CLI [1].
OpenSSL is powerful, but it's hard to figure out how to use correctly. Each command seems cryptic no matter how many times I use it.
The step CLI is a lot simpler, even though it has a few quirks: generating PKCS1 formatted private keys instead of the newer PKCS7 format, making every leaf certificate eligible to be either a server certificate or a client certificate, and absurdly low default certificate expirations.
