"Throw it on a haste and send the link" entered developer vocabulary because of Hastebin (haste-server), the minimalist open-source pastebin. Written in Node.js with three stated design goals - be really pretty, be really simple, be easy to set up - it does one job precisely: paste code, logs, stack traces, or config snippets, press save (or Ctrl+N for a new one), and get a short random-key URL to share. Syntax highlighting renders pastes readably across common languages, a raw view serves plain text for curl and scripts, and duplicate-and-edit makes iterating on a shared snippet trivial. The killer workflow is the terminal: with the haste-client utility or a one-line shell function, `cat error.log | haste` prints a shareable URL straight from stdout - the fastest route from a broken build to a colleague's eyeballs. Storage is pluggable through a simple adapter interface: filesystem by default, Redis with optional key expiration for pastes that should age out, and configurable key length, maximum paste size, and static documents. Self-hosting matters here because pastes often contain internal logs and stack traces that should never sit on a public pastebin - your instance keeps them inside your network, under your retention rules.
