Show HN: A privacy-focused web-based HAR viewerhttps://snifflab.dev

The idea of having to connect to a cloud service or even log in to do something like look at or make network requests has never sat well with me. And viewing har files in devtools is clunky. So I built a web-based, as-private-as-I-could-make it har viewer. Basically it has all the CSP along with build-time and run-time verification to confirm that the page can't leak anything. I'd love to hear feedback on how to make it even harder to mess up :) Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49564463 Points: 2 # Comments: 1

Surviving Code Reviews in the era of AIhttps://lobste.rs/s/7tpc5q/surviving_code_reviews_era_ai

My coworkers are all fully AI pilled. As a consequence, every PR that comes my way for review is on average ~6k lines of diff. It's well established that even PRs an order of magnitude smaller than this are too big to be effectively reviewed. I'm still clinging to the idea that us humans should understand how the systems we are building work, so I'm hesitant to use AI for reviews aside from more general question answering. Much of what it produces in the way of explanations are difficult to follow and overly verbose anyway. I'm sure I'm not the only person here who has been dealing with this…
