I love working with hackable software. I kind of attack it at the source level vs writing for the browser however. For example, say there’s some tool on a git repo. I will shamelessly clone it and build off of it to my own liking. Maybe I add another 1% to the code base, or maybe that repo becomes 1% of a codebase I write on my own. These are tools I could never share however, because of the rampant plagiarism I am doing, and the fact I don’t much care about getting it to run on different systems beyond my own. That being said fast and loose coding like this is a very powerful way to iterate on personal projects that never need to be anything but. I wish more things were actually hackable especially mobile or appliance hardware. Companies never like giving the power users the reigns for some reason.
