Seriously. Managing these threads must feel like tax season for a CPA
- dang 2y agoBelieve it or not, the hardest part right now is Javascript's lack of tail recursion. The browser extension I rely on for moderation (written in Arc and transpiled to JS) is stack-overflowing on this thread because there are so many comments. Not sure whether it's more efficient to fix these errors first, or just power through moderating the thread manually, but boy does the latter suck.
