The most used banners at least have a quick way of dismissing without opting in. When the cases against too obvious dark patterns started that fixed itself at least.

What fixed YouTube for me by disabling and removing all history. The only thing that works is the subscriptions tab and search. The only shorts I get are from subscriptions, so I'm through them in a few minutes and have to choose a real video.

New comment by ganzsz in "Why Vanilla JavaScript"

ganzsz — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 05:39:00 +0000

It starts as simple crud, but then product introduces a business rule where some fields need to be hidden when another option is selected somewhere. O, but not when this checked, etc. Having a reactive framework when this happens is very much needed to keep all these effects working without a lot of vanilla JS.

This can be solved later, but is a lot harder when you have an entire application that needs to bee kept working, and almost trivial if you started with some reactivity built in.

New comment by ganzsz in "AI changes the economics of software rewrites"

ganzsz — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 17:49:56 +0000

We sold a large rewrite to be able to use llms. Our code is such a mess that an llm has trouble implementing new features. (maintainability is still a must, even when vibe coding). So we got a green light to use clean patterns that a llm could extend easily.

Of coarse the requirement of using more Ai came from management.

ganzsz — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 06:11:33 +0000

For me personally, the problem is my teammates. The ability or will to critically think, or investigate existing tools in the codebase seems to disappear. Too often now I have to send back a PR where something is fixed using novel implementations instead of the single function call using existing infrastructure.

Maybe because it is easier to track one library, react and jsx. I wouldn't use xmlhttprequest since the request api exist.

The NASA Workmanship's guide linked in a sibling instructs to stagger multiple splices. I think that would help with this problem.
