## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need community-sourced perspectives from the Hacker News developer and founder community specifically on software security and vulnerability response topics. It is best suited for trend discovery, sentiment gathering, and finding high-signal discussions rather than authoritative security advisories (use the sibling 'Security advisory search' endpoint for those). Ideal when the user wants to understand what practitioners are actually discussing, not just official documentation.

- Max results exceeding 10 will be rejected by the schema
