The title "Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets" to me sounds like it's exposing some sort of specific vulunerability or similar but I might just be overreacting because of all the recent hacks.
A title like "Show HN: A GitHub action to help using AWS credentials" sounds more appropriate to me, saying what it is and what it does instead of saying what not to do.
- cnuss 5y agoThanks for the feedback SahAssar, sorry if the title caused any latent anxiety! I'll heed your advice for the next time I post something on HN, thank you!
- SahAssar 5y agoNo problem, it was more like morbid curiosity. Writing titles that are direct enough for HN but still enthusiastic and marketable can be hard. I can't find the comment right now, but someone said a good rule is to start with "what it is" then "what it does" and last "why you think it's good"
- wanderer_ 5y agoThis, all of this. I was thinking it was a vuln too, but it's no big deal. At this point the Internet has made us sort of desensitized to clickbait, even accidental ones :] Anyway neat idea!
