If it works for you, go for it! Call me lazy, but unless I can see a substantial, measurable increase to either the user or my experience without tradeoffs, I am not going to invest the time.
- ht85 10y agoLooking at your last sentence, I don't think you've developed a real project using hot reloading. When you're debugging an action that is behind several other steps (eg: scroll, click something, fill something, click something), hot reloading feels amazing compared to reloading and performing those steps over and over again (or emulating them by changing the code or pre-filling forms and having to cleanup after). It might not be impressive in terms of absolute time saved, but I know that for me the "wow this feels amazing" feeling of it makes me much more motivated, focused and productive.
