Hi, HN!

I recently published SelfCertForge, an open source desktop app for creating and managing self-signed certificates on macOS and Windows:

https://github.com/rbonestell/SelfCertForge/

I know, I know... this isn't an earth-shattering invention. This came from a place of years of personal annoyance. I’ve been maintaining scripts that wrapped OpenSSL for local certificate workflows: create a long-lived root cert, add it to the trust store, then generate and sign child certificates for local services.

The scripts work but the workflow was clunky. Used infrequently enough that it's easy to forget the flags, not much easier to explain to anyone than OpenSSL itself, and irritating to repeat across machines. Every time I'd share them with colleagues and friends there were always questions and feature requests, so I used Claude Code to amplify my UI/UX design skills (well, I can't amplify 0...) and turned the functionality into a cross-platform GUI.

SelfCertForge can generate root CAs and add them to the system's trust store, generate and sign child certificates, and export DER, PEM, PFX, and P7B formats. It also supports common X.509 fields like Subject, SANs, and Key Usage.

Very important caveat: this is not suitable for production environments or public-facing SSL/TLS.

I am mid level software dev. After seeing so many layoffs, my mind is filled with fear. I couldn't spend my time with family. People say AI replaces people not using AI. But it is not true, it will replace people using AI eventually, I think. People in my situation, what you are actually doing to overcome this, are you taking any actions to orevent any future catastrophes.

Fellow software consultants: how are you navigating billing these days? Assuming you’re more productive with LLMs, how do you ensure that you’re paid fairly for your skills?

Are you raising your hourly rate?

Are you embracing milestone/outcome based billing instead of billable hours?

I’m relatively new to consulting (around 2.5 years), and trying to navigate this myself.
