Comment on Eliminating my trivial inconveniences building Discourse

Comments

The "hit refresh to see CSS changes" is a big crime I've noticed on my (and my dev friends') time. My logic with my recent project is simple: -You have a computer -Computers automate tasks -Automate all your repetitive tasks

There's obviously no one-size-fits-all here, but think outside of the box for your workflow. Add macros to your editor, use something like LiveReload or Brolink.vim (shameless plug) to reload pages, streamline your build process, heck, even use AutoKey if necessary. Point is, you're the brain, and the computer is your slave. You don't need to be doing petty work that your computer can do for you.
