This is so great. I just showed everyone at the office. I can look like I'm working while I'm reading Reddit.

Is that a passive aggressive way of saying it requires javascript?

I had to disable tracking protection in firefox to see anything except the first three lines.

Didn't showing them sort of sabotage your plan?

Cute. Not very readable, but cute.

Would be nice if they would let you change the pseudo language it's using - maybe even customize the colors locally.

Trying on Samsung S7, Chrome, I can't seem to figure out how to read the post. Comments is easy enough, but tap as I might I can't get any story to load.

This is cute. Being able to switch languages is a nice touch although someone needs to fix the Python one line comments not to use the C style.

Wonderful. Now I just need to land a job as an actual programmer :(

How is that an issue for you? Seems to me like there are more jobs than programmers out there. Where are you located?

Looks like it does. At the top in the third line you should see something like `$language = "php";`. Click `php` and it will select a new language for you.
