It does require a bit of a paradigm shift sometimes to not rely as much on seeing all cumulative changes for the ticket highlighted as you code, and instead compartmentalize your immediate view to the current commit's task, but often the above 2 alternatives help suffice. Of course, you did mention that you'll commit stuff you're not likely to touch again, which helps a lot too
I'm not part of the target population but my guess is that a large factor has to do with people's tendency to go down the path of life that is most similar to the path they've already tread. If you grew up in a 'cultural center' it's less of a paradigm shift to take the crappy job around the corner rather than move somewhere slightly more remote to start a new career even if in the long run it could actually lead to a more decent life.
Also note the article starts with the qualifier "in the first few hours", meaning it's not like they're sitting there all day every day with no lights/wifi. This seems like an exaggerated, politically motivated piece that doesn't belong on HN.
When they were first proposed back in 2008 they made a big splash, but afaik they never got past the prototype phase. There was even a push to add them to the SVG spec.
For an in-browser app, that seems a bit much but of course wasm runs in other places these days where it might make more sense.
I didn't try logging into the studio since it was asking for username and stuff, so maybe the docs are there? I just wanted to read the docs before committing to a login and stuff to see if this is worth my time.
