Is the joke this isn’t microservices and literally just an expressjs api that sends the user to youtube? Why the copy paste for each of the route handlers? Why not just a single endpoint?

I’m so confused

You don’t need microservices for a bad joke. They’re already a bad joke.

Is the joke that when I follow the link I'm not rickrolled?

This is bad already when we dont get rickrolled on the first click

No, that's a feature of microservices.

...which is a separate joke.

Hah! You just gave me the idea to make[0] a rickroll app that pretends to scan your IP but actually just rickrolls you.

(Shameless plug: I vibe-coded the vibecoding tool)

The real rickrolling is to get everyone here on HN to read the lyrics.

Happy to realize I have lived that long without having heard of rickrolling.
