## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single aggregated call for what developers are actively discussing across major dev-community sources like Hacker News, Simon Willison, and The Register. Ideal for trend-detection pipelines, newsletter automations, and developer community monitoring agents that need curated dev-specific content rather than general tech news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no new posts exist
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '2hours' instead of '2h') may cause a 400 error
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns an error
- Limit exceeding 50 is rejected
- Stale or cached results if the upstream source hasn't updated recently
