Ask HN: How do you prevent documentation from becoming tribal knowledge?

Hacker News - Sun, 04/13/2025 - 7:46pm

I've run into this situation before where I join a team and person X begins helping me with something, then person Y comes along and says, "Oh yeah we have a documentation page for this, it's buried here."

Or a different, but similar scenario: I'll begin trying to solve a problem. I'll search the team's documentation and find nothing, but then I'll be pointed to documentation that is exactly what I was looking for. Ugh.

So it's kind of funny, I'll be on a team with a wealth of information documenting everything, but it's borderline useless since I can't find what I need when I need it, and only Joe who has been here for 15 years knows exactly how everything is laid out and knows where to point me. How do I prevent this? How can I structure my documentation so it's easy to navigate and easy to stumble upon what you need. I can't be the only one that's had this issue, right?

I guess at a higher level I'm realizing that this question really is, "What's the best way to structure documentation"?

Additionally, any tips on how to do this in Confluence? I feel like at least 20% of the problem is due to how awful it is to create anything remotely navigable in that tool.

Show HN: H-1B salary search without fuss

Hacker News - Sun, 04/13/2025 - 6:52pm

The US Department of Labor releases base salary data for every H-1B visa application and has done so for the past 19 years. This data is often useful to people negotiating an offer, researching a company, or just curious about industry salaries.

h1bsalaries.fyi allows you to quickly search through this huge trove of salary data by company name, job title, and location without the obnoxious ads, pop-ups, and distracting elements that are characteristic of other similar websites.

In other words, just H-1B salary data. No bullsh*t.

Open to thoughts, comments, and feedback.

Ask HN: Can someone ELI5 how Google's A2A is different from MCP?

Hacker News - Sun, 04/13/2025 - 6:52pm

After reading some contents related to Google's new A2A, it still didn't click to me, how is it different from MCP? Can someone please ELI5 with a good example?

In my mind, I am still designing things with MCP. Even the communication between 2 agents can modeled as MCP with some capabilities.
