Fun article! I appreciate the author taking the time to go through the details, like formatting the source of the javascript, and figuring out the module system. Hacking on other peoples' websites is great fun. Everyone should try it, and I hope this article encourages a few people to!
I hack on Slack, which is complex enough that even small UI changes require hideous hacks. And since the javascript and CSS changes out from under you constantly, nothing ever works for long. I'm reverse engineering something to create an opportunity to produce code that runs against an API that will change without notice. But I get big, visible improvements I see every day, and the feeling of changing something that wasn't meant to be changed is just so unreasonably satisfying!
- studentrob 10y agoI'm crossing my fingers that this, or a comment like it about hacking, remains the top comment in this thread, rather than some warning... please be true to your name, please be true to your name, ... ;-). Just kidding I don't care. Fun article indeed.
