Built a rickroll machine that rickrolls you with microservices

Is the joke that when I follow the link I'm not rickrolled?
moqizhengz•6mo ago
This is bad already when we dont get rickrolled on the first click
Incipient•6mo ago
No, that's a feature of microservices.

...which is a separate joke.

jumploops•6mo ago
Hah! You just gave me the idea to make[0] a rickroll app that pretends to scan your IP but actually just rickrolls you.

(Shameless plug: I vibe-coded the vibecoding tool)

darad•6mo ago
you can sell this to hollywood for the next blockbuster hacker film
napolux•6mo ago
where are the microservices?
coldfoundry•6mo ago
Is the joke this isn’t microservices and literally just an expressjs api that sends the user to youtube? Why the copy paste for each of the route handlers? Why not just a single endpoint?

I’m so confused

darad•6mo ago
ah you're welcome, confusing you was the goal
badgersnake•6mo ago
You don’t need microservices for a bad joke. They’re already a bad joke.
adzm•6mo ago
But now it can be a bad joke at scale
Garlef•6mo ago
The real rickrolling is to get everyone here on HN to read the lyrics.
unfixed•6mo ago
RaaS, nice one
darad•6mo ago
My pleasure
scionni•6mo ago
I need the Rust implementation
d--b•6mo ago
Happy to realize I have lived that long without having heard of rickrolling.
