Reminder: Programmers program because we're lazy
Quick coding project this morning.
I finally implemented the man in the middle PHP code which ingests the Longreads subreddit feed and modifies the feed to make each entry link out to the remote URL rather than within Reddit. Previously, the link out was in the body of the post. Normally, this isn't an issue, just click the body link and not the title. But, if I want to save an entry for later reading in my Wallabag, it required me to take an extra step.
This is an excellent example of proof programmers are lazy. I spent 15 minutes coding a solution to a problem which has likely, in total, wasted 5 minutes of my life.
