    This past quarter has been awash with sophisticated npm supply chain attacks like [Shai-Hulud](https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2025/09/23/widesprea...() and the [Chalk/debug Compromise](https://www.wiz.io/blog/widespread-npm-supply-chain-attack-b...). This CLI helps protect users from recently compromised packages by only downloading packages that have been public for a while (default is 90 days or older).

    I kept seeing every npm/pnpm/yarn/bun/uv supply chain post end with the same advice (set a minimum release age, turn off install scripts), and while I know cooldowns are "controversial", they do work. But even if you convince people that they should set cooldowns, it seems many don't end up following through, not sure why, maybe because it means hand-editing five config files in five formats with five different time units, or perhaps the "it won't happen to me" syndrome (or "I'll do it later, it seems complicated" where it's actually very simple). So I created a tool that…

    I've invented a new alternative to forking / vendoring / monkey-patching packages in Python. It's a bit like OverlayFS for Python modules - it allows you write modifications for a target module (lower) in a new module (upper), and have these combined in a new virtual module (mount). It works by rewriting imports using AST transformations, then running both the lower and upper module's code in the new Python module. This prevents polluting the global namespace when monkey-patching, and means if you want to make changes to a third-party package, you don't have to take on the…

    Hi HN! We’re Asankhaya and Rohan and we are building Patchwork. Patchwork tackles development gruntwork—like reviews, docs, linting, and security fixes—through customizable, code-first 'patchflows' using LLMs and modular code management steps, all in Python. Here's a quick overview video: https://youtu.be/MLyn6B3bFMU From our time building DevSecOps tools, we experienced first-hand the frustrations our users faced as they built complex delivery pipelines. Almost a third of developer time is spent on code management tasks[1], yet backlogs remain. Patchwork lets you combine…

    Hey HN, we are building bumpgen (https://github.com/xeol-io/bumpgen/) to remove the toil of fixing breaking changes during version bumps. bumpgen bumps your npm package version then generates the fixes to potential breaking changes. There were some interesting challenges we encountered using an LLM to fix breaking changes: [1] Finding the breaking changes → know how is a dependency used through the codebase [2] Knowing how to fix the a breaking change → know how the dependency has changed from one version to another [3] Understanding how the fix has modified existing…

    Hi, we’re Lukas, Lars and Matthias, and we're building “Fix” (https://fix.security). Fix is an open source cloud asset inventory for developers to track their infrastructure’s security posture aka “cloud security posture management” (CSPM). How Fix works: Fix takes a snapshot of your inventory on an hourly basis by calling the cloud APIs, runs policy and compliance checks such as the CIS benchmark against that inventory, and provides the findings in a dashboard, via .csv export or API so that developers can use the raw data and build workflows. We’re also working on data sync to S3…

    Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux. I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started. While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
