How's the view?! Back to business, it's now 8 years ago that Scott and I thought it would be a cool idea to build Why no HTTPS? We used the site to shame companies for not implementing their transport later security property, and to make it a bit of fun, we shamed by country as well. This helped people jump on the bandwagon of giving their respective countries a little "encouragement", and we hope they'll do the same now with Why no Passkeys? Following my infamous phishing incident last year, I registered the domain with the intent of building the successor for the TLS version. However, due to a combination of me having no time and Scott getting very good with Claude Code, he's now stood up this project solo and done a wonderful job of it. Go and check it out, and give those big names from your country a little push.
Sentinel — Human
Confidence
The text exhibits strong human fingerprints through a highly personal, anecdotal voice and specific reference points, indicating it is likely written by an individual sharing a personal history rather than being purely synthetic.
Signals Detected
low severity: Erratic pacing and highly informal voice; strong use of colloquialisms ('How's the view?!', 'a bit of fun'); variance in sentence length.
low severity: Clear, idiosyncratic personal narrative rooted in specific experiences (phishing incident, collaboration with Scott); lacks the sterile balance of typical AI synthesis.
low severity: Specific historical claims (8 years ago) and named entities (Scott, Claude Code) suggest concrete memory, not generic pattern matching; no vague attribution regarding technical details.
Human Indicators
The text employs a distinct, highly informal, and conversational voice with specific personal anecdotes (phishing incident), which is difficult for generic LLMs to replicate authentically.
The structure flows naturally from retrospective memory to current project status, reflecting human thought progression rather than mechanical exposition.
