- frizlabIt did not work at all for me on latest Firefox (macOS).
- It apparently only works correctly on chromium-based browsers.
- I should do the same book in Swift; it would be a very interesting project! I wish I had that kind of time…
- Oh. I retract my comment, I just read the code. My Dark Mode extension just sucks.

Not really… using js to change the CSS on the go is not a good practice. Why does it matter? Because of the “dark mode” browser extensions. They often use the presence of @media query (or other standard CSS means of setting dark mode colors), and if it’s the JS that changes the colors we often get partial Dark Mode, which does not work at all.
- Next step will probably be that apps will require a specific entitlement to be able to remove the quarantine flag from files, I guess…

- How does this compare to Swift?

- I would love to be able to say the same but I’m literally the only last person in the company still not using AI to code (if anything for ethics reasons, but I also truly do not need it at all), and I am obviously not the only good dev in the company. The gain is highly debatable (especially in delivery, I do not trust self-reports), however there have been recent reports of morale improvement since using AI, so at least there’s that.
- For instance if I push 10kloc that are in a lib I would have used if I were not using AI, yes, I have pushed much more code, but I was not more productive.

- To each his own, I guess. I learn by doing.
To be clear, I’m not saying there is nothing interesting in the code of others, obviously. However, reading code is, in my opinion, twice as hard as writing it. Especially understanding the structure is very hard.
- I don’t know about other people, but I tend to love architecting and code. Coding time, after architecting, is the “reward” for the brain. Just write what you’ve painstakingly engineered, let your brain rest.
This is how I work. Honestly the writing time (the one I’m promised I'll gain on by using AI), is something like 10% of my coding time. And it’s the only time I’m “resting” so yeah. I don’t want to get rid of it. Nor do I need it. And I especially do not want to check on the “intern” to verify it did what I imagined. Nor do I want to spend time explaining what I imagined. I just do it.
- > I love to write code. I very much do not love to read, review, and generate feedback on other people's code. I understand it's a good skill to develop and can be instrumental in helping to shape less experienced colleagues into more productive collaborators, but I still hate it.
Same. Writing code is easy. Reading code is very very hard.
