    A year ago, we launched Distr here to help software vendors manage customer deployments remotely. We had agents that pulled updates, a hub with a GUI, and a lot of assumptions about what on-prem deployment needed. It turned out things get messy when your software is running in places you can't simply SSH into. Over the last year, we’ve also helped modernize a lot of home-baked solutions: bash scripts that email when updates fail, Excel sheets nobody trusts to track customer versions, engineers driving to customer sites to fix things in person, debug sessions over email (“can you take a…

    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…

    pgxman is npm for Postgres extensions, simplifying the discovery and use of extensions so you can easily enhance your applications. Installing and updating Postgres extensions is an uphill battle. You're left searching for the right build tools and grappling with often unclear and incomplete compiling instructions to even try one out. But with pgxman, we've streamlined the process to one simple step: pgxman install [extension name]. For example, to build parquet_s3_fdw manually, you'd need to: 1. Download the parquet_s3_fdw source code; 2. Figure out how to build it by looking at README.…

    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…
