Hello HN, We have been gathering our requirements and doing our work breakdown structure (WBS) across Google Docs / Sheets and Word / Excel. In most scenarios, the requirement is not finalized initially. It goes through multiple iterations. To track these changes needs document versioning. Although, there are ways to version both documents and spreadsheets there are either too technical (code version management system) or difficult to use (Google Docs etc.) The same challenge exists for the WBS. Here, we can probably use Microsoft Project or something similar. The question to all HNers - For both requirement gathering and WBS, what I'm looking for - 1. Some organized way to gather information (preferably in some itemized form) 2. Automatic version management and an easy way to see how things have changed A bonus would be to somehow link between the requirements and WBS. This can be either a free, open-source, self-hosted or paid option. Also, it would be useful to know if anybody is using software like Notion, Outline, OneNote for this purpose.

I have always been an (a below) average engineer. I was a good student during my school. In college I started getting inferiority complex. From there it has been a downward spiral. I work at FAANG and this is my third job. At second job I was fired, at first I was about to get PIP'd. In my current job I have high and low phases. I don't feel respected at my job and it has had severe effects on my self esteem. I have been anxious/ depressed for around a decade-- I am taking anxiety medicines and planning to start therapy. There are phases where I work with high motivation but it fades easily. I have found I work on my side things with interest but I am not a completer. I complete around 80% of things and then leave them. I am not sure I can keep working this way. Not having a good relationship with my manager (I never feel secured or that they have my back) has made me tired and don't know exactly what to do.

New top story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Svix (YC W21) – Webhooks as a Service
Launch HN: Svix (YC W21) – Webhooks as a Service
12 by tasn | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone, my name is Tom, and I'm the founder of Svix ( https://www.svix.com ) - previously known as Diahook. Svix makes it easy for developers to send webhooks from their service using a simple API. Think Twilio or SendGrid but for webhooks. Webhooks are how servers notify each other of events, so they are a key component of many APIs such as Stripe, Shopify, Slack, Dropbox and Github. They look easy to implement (just a POST request), but they come with a variety of challenges. For example, customer endpoints fail or hang much more often than you would think, so you would need to implement retries. You need to make sure such failures don't clog your send queue or the rest of your system. The webhook system is an additional system separate from your normal web server that needs to be scaled and monitored separately. There are also a variety of security implications such as SSRF, replay attacks, and attackers sending fake webhooks to your customers (so make sure to sign the payload and make it easy to verify!). You also want to avoid overloading your users' endpoints, so you want to automatically rate-limit webhook sending, as well as disabling failing ones, and notifying your users when you do. I encountered these challenges at my previous company. Our users were constantly asking us for webhooks, but we kept deferring building them because we weren't willing to commit the engineering time, resources, and ongoing maintenance required of a webhook delivery system. This was the seed for Svix, but it's only after a friend of mine asked about adding webhooks to her own product that I realized "Oh, there's maybe a business here". The idea behind Svix is to make it very easy for everyone to send webhooks. Developers make one API call and we take care of deliverability, monitoring, and retries. We also have a pre-built management UI that our customers can offer their users to manage their webhook endpoints, as well as inspect, debug, and replay failures. This is in addition to a variety of tools, libraries, and tutorials to make both sending and consuming webhooks easy. We have previously done a Show HN ( https://ift.tt/3rJ3clv ) and got a lot of great feedback from the community. A lot has changed since then, for example, we now have libraries for Python, JavaScript (TypeScript), Java and Go; a first version of the Ruby and PHP libraries, and a CLI for interacting with the service. We have improved the management UI, made it easy to embed it in an iframe, and improved the onboarding and documentation to make it even easier to get started. And finally, we have scaled the backend to keep up with the growing needs of our customers. We have a lot more planned for the coming months, and we've grown the team so improvements are going to come at an even higher pace. One of the common questions from our Show HN was: "Don't developers need to handle deliverability and retries to Svix?" Deliverability to user endpoints (servers) is very different to deliverability to Svix. User endpoints fail all the time and for various reasons, and each of them can fail independently. This means developers need a robust and scalable delivery system that can deal with failures on an ongoing basis. While with Svix, outages are rare, and are dealt with as incidents. The same way you would with SendGrid, Twilio and other API providers. Our goal with Svix is to make it easier for developers to add webhooks to their service. Webhooks make APIs that much more useful and enable a lot of automations and integrations which benefit both the products offering them, and the communities around them. Just think of all the cool Slack bots made possible thanks to webhooks. I'd really love to see every service out there offering a great API! I'd love to hear about your experience building (or using) webhooks systems. What's a must have? Any war stories to share? Got any questions? Suggestions? Please let me know!

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?
Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?
16 by codpiece | 2 comments on Hacker News.
My therapist wants to explore an ADHD diagnosis, run tests and dive deep. My question to you is; how did this help you or impact your life? I am in the later half of an adventurous and successful career. I continue to grow, have a long-term stable marriage, good savings, great life. I went to my therapist to handle a lingering family issue and now we've come up to the ADHD talk. They want to run neurological tests, said I'm 'twice exceptional' and I see this as an expensive and time consuming diversion of my goals. I do admit that there is some validity in the idea, I do see symptoms, but how would this help me at this point in my life?
