The title "Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets" to me sounds like it's exposing some sort of specific vulunerability or similar but I might just be overreacting because of all the recent hacks.

A title like "Show HN: A GitHub action to help using AWS credentials" sounds more appropriate to me, saying what it is and what it does instead of saying what not to do.

Thanks for the feedback SahAssar, sorry if the title caused any latent anxiety!

I'll heed your advice for the next time I post something on HN, thank you!

No problem, it was more like morbid curiosity.

Writing titles that are direct enough for HN but still enthusiastic and marketable can be hard. I can't find the comment right now, but someone said a good rule is to start with "what it is" then "what it does" and last "why you think it's good"

This, all of this. I was thinking it was a vuln too, but it's no big deal. At this point the Internet has made us sort of desensitized to clickbait, even accidental ones :]

Anyway neat idea!
