Built a rickroll machine that rickrolls you with microservices

[coldfoundry]

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]

ah you're welcome, confusing you was the goal

[badgersnake]

You don’t need microservices for a bad joke. They’re already a bad joke.

[adzm]

But now it can be a bad joke at scale

[comrade1234]

Is the joke that when I follow the link I'm not rickrolled?

[moqizhengz]

This is bad already when we dont get rickrolled on the first click

[Incipient]

No, that's a feature of microservices.

...which is a separate joke.

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)

you can sell this to hollywood for the next blockbuster hacker film

[napolux]

where are the microservices?

[Garlef]

The real rickrolling is to get everyone here on HN to read the lyrics.

Happy to realize I have lived that long without having heard of rickrolling.

[scionni]

I need the Rust implementation

RaaS, nice one
