Oh definitely - the talent at Stainless is incredible. Not trying to take away from that at all.

You guys should be proud - it was a great service!

I'm really disappointed that such a great service is getting taken off the market. Happy for their team, but sad for the ecosystem.

This has to be somewhat anti-competitive. Why else sunset the SDK generator service but to hurt any other company (OpenAI, etc) who relies on these for their SDKs?

Show HN: Augno – a Stripe-like ERP for manufacturing

dalbaugh — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:44:53 +0000

I’ve spent the past 4 years building software for a knitting factory, including selecting and implementing an ERP. That experience was really painful.

Most manufacturing ERPs are hard to evaluate before signing an enterprise contract, poorly documented, and clearly not designed with serious API users in mind. Even when APIs exist, they’re often inconsistent or bolted on as an afterthought.

We built Augno to change that. The goal is to provide a Stripe-like experience for manufacturing ERP. We want it to be a usable out-of-the-box product and a well-designed, cohesive API that developers can actually build on.

We put a lot of effort into API design, documentation, and sandboxing. You can create a free account, explore the sandbox, and only move to production when you’re ready. There’s a free tier to make evaluation straightforward, without sales calls or contracts. Our focus is to let teams spend their engineering time on things that drive revenue - like custom quoting, order workflows, or integrations - instead of fighting their ERP.

We’re actively expanding the public API and rolling out additional endpoints over the next few months.

I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who’s dealt with manufacturing systems or ERPs before!

It's mostly semantics. Passive safety is the "why" while idempotency is the "how".

Excellent blog

Unfortunately, I don't think any additional evidence will convince vaccine skeptics of the safety of mRNA vaccines

New comment by dalbaugh in "HTTP API Design: HTTP Fundamentals"

dalbaugh — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:46:52 +0000

I've been reading everything I can find on HTTP API design the past few months. I'm particularly interested in learning about the finer details of great, human centered APIs. It's been surprisingly hard to find a lot of great resources on the topic. So, I am writing up some of the basics for my own reference but also for others who are interested in the topic as I progress in my research. This article goes over the basic semantics of HTTP. I know many here are much more experienced and have operated at a much larger scale than I have (I build APIs for smaller factories), so please point me in the direction of resources you believe would be useful as I continue to study!
