> Please (please.build) 'build' kind of indicates that

  Unfortunately for those of us following HN through RSS readers (like Feedly) the URL doesn't show until you mouse over the link ... but even then, I agree adding that additional piece of information such as "build software" would be useful.

    Feedly has an API, I started writing a script a while ago to improve some RSS feeds, including HN (by making the number of comments and the URL appear in the body), but never finished it. If someone had the same idea, please don’t hesitate sharing.

    Most RSS clients don’t have that bug.

  Since far from all TLDs have reliable semantics and it's impossible to know all of them, it doesn't. And compiling a project from source code is not the only meaning of "build", not even in tech.

  From the URL, I thought it was going to be a joke page about developers praying "come on, please build!" at complex build systems.

  > > Please (please.build) > 'build' kind of indicates that Not the GP, but as a developer reasonably conversant with build systems and their pain points, I still assumed this was going to be some form of lazyweb[0] related blog post or portal rather than a build system named 'Please'.

  With the URL, I was expecting an opinion piece along the lines of https://a16z.com/2020/04/18/its-time-to-build/ https://a16z.com/2020/04/18/its-time-to-build/.
