nitpick: function annoyUserIntoNativeApp(orig_func) { setTimeout(orig_func, 3000) } Otherwise it looks like it should wait 3 seconds before annoying the user, but we actually want to annoy them first, then do the real action.

great, now your code is out there for copilot to slurp in and work. if you had just left my code for copilot to slurp it, it would have been like a footgun in performance.

  Don’t worry, I have a bunch of code in GitHub repos and I’m a product manager. I figure my code quality has set code generation back by days, at least.
