I wrote a more extensive comment elsewhere, but for basic compiling a browser extension you can also simply use common tooling like rollup [0] where your manifest just points to the rollup generated files [1]. And if you forgo modern framew

The project might do a better job of explaining what it actually intends to solve. At least as far as the readme.md goes. I have been active in the area of browser extension development for over a decade now. And to me, it wasn't very

Innovation in the most.simplest way, let me give you a simple example. Give an LLM the documentation of a library/framework it has no training data on and ask it to implement a specific thing based on that documentation. It will strugg

The article actually does explain this in the first few paragraphs. It is an issue because communities like StackOverflow are actually one of the sources of training material. LLM's are not capable of innovation, they can only do var

Well, someone needs to stand up for those poor applications, might as well be you ;) I still think it means you are missing the overall point of the author thoughts by focussing so heavily on them using df as an example.

Also using a monospaced font for both the written text and command line output is certainly a choice. I get that it is often an aesthetic choice, but given that a blog post is written with the idea to be read, one I don't think is a pa

No, I am fully going to put it to the company if they geo-fence and deny access to people from regions of the world with stronger privacy laws. More specifically, as I already said, I know to avoid them as they can't even be bothered.

As I said, even if playwright started out a fork, classifying it as just that these days is a pretty big oversimplification. It isn't just a "wrapper around puppeteer" either but a complete test automation framework bringing

That is a huge oversimplification, if I ever saw one. If you look at the early commits, you can see that it isn't just a simple fork. For starters, the initial commit[1] is already using Typescript. As far as I am aware puppeteer is no

While technically true, the title feels like a clickbait headline to me. It is both overly broad "toxic" but at the same time highly specific "paper" while the reality is much more complex. This bit from the article does
