I installed this extension, it made me hate Twitter less by not having to use it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nitter-redire...

That's fine but why should it be on me? It should just be HN policy to not accept twitter as article links. They're effectively paywalled. If people must, they should be submitting nitter etc links.

All the developers out there who make demos for scaling and rotating a box are about to lose their jobs!

Scale Rotation const transformSquare = () => square.style.transform = `scale(${scale.value}) rotate(${rotation.value}deg)`; transformSquare();

"Code beautification" is not the point, but a tool. Smaller and clearer code could be faster to write, and harder to make mistakes using. This is why e.g. Rails can be so good at producing certain kinds of apps very quickly and in very few LOCs. The problem is, of course, that simplicity follows complexity, not the other way around. Because of that, it's mostly "trivial" and "repetitive" tasks that receive polished t…

Code Beautification is a waste of time and ossifies a code base. It's a form of optimization that actually makes the code harder to change and the business less agile. It is pretty though.

ITT: people in denial while the writing on the wall is literally shoved into their face.

Writing was on the wall over a year ago, shocked how many were in complete denial then. Even more surprising now. People don't even seem to grasp that the next gen of these tools wont be rolling the dice once it'll be rolling it 1000 times then you pick the one that nailed it. Then the next generation will roll 10,000 times and it'll be picking the one that nailed it even without your input at all.
