I’d speculate that this was a product of its time (early Heroku days), and that a goal at the time was to get secrets out of source control. Which was an antipattern way back then.

Times have changed since then, and there’s much better tooling available to help with this problem space and surface area these days.

I think the issue is that LLMs can be so confidently and convincingly wrong about anything.

And if we (LLM tool operators) don’t know the subject matter in question, we can’t easily distinguish what they are right or wrong about.

I’ve got one of these fwiw, and it’s outstanding.

Yes, and they always have been.

Do you have a citation for this? (Genuinely curious)

When we first created Domainr (then domai.nr, now domainr.com) back in 2008, we needed a list of “zones under which domain registrations were somehow possible.” E.g. not just the root zone list from IANA, but all the .co., .edu., .net., etc. variants. We found what we could from Wikipedia, and used Mturk to find the rest from registry websites, etc.

It wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t need to be. We essentially needed a “good enough to start with” dataset that we could refine going forward. It got the job done.

This.

> As of 28 January 2025, the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) will be the definitive source for delivering generic top-level domain name (gTLD) registration information in place of sunsetted WHOIS services. RDAP offers several advantages over WHOIS including support for internationalization, secure access to data, authoritative service discovery, and the ability to provide differentiated access to registration data. RDAP was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
