Why coding yourself a corporate practice that encouraged addition? Why you felt we were lacking that stuff?

It's a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I'm sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

I did an 10-minute PowerShell project at work the other day, 4 hours later...

But addition is such a positive thing.

It certainly doesn't subtract from the experience, that's for sure.
