>I support being paid for your work, but live reload is a fairly trivial thing to write for yourself -- I spent one day this gone weekend writing a debugger in C which does it.
Major Dropbox “who would pay for this over just using rsync?” vibes here. Never change, HN.
unlike the dropbox case, my point isnt, "oh go and do it yourself" -- my point is why-t-f doesnt gcc/clang, etc have a obv-build-tool --live-rebuild option?
Or, more alarmingly, why are things like jrebel fawned over? Rather than, say, it being an embarrassment that java dx is worse than programming dx 30-40 years ago?
Why isn't the basic thing all OS do, ie., live reloading of code, a day-to-day essential element of all development?
I really don't know. But to be clear, it was 50+ yr ago, 40+ yr ago, 30+ yr ago --- and as of today, it's $100/yr subscription (lol?!)
