I just wrote a quick script to remove all the garbage from the home page of youtube so I'm not greeted by a panel of click bait videos and Marvel soyboy movie trailer #582 every time I go to find background music.

What are your methods of staying productive? I've tried to Pomodoro method before but slowly reverted to free style time management (i.e. exerting my self until I get too frustrated and then take a break). My main problem with it is the applications I've tried don't let you specify the duration of the pomodoro or the break time, making it ineffective for me. A piece of advice I read is that you need to get out of the habit of multitasking/switching between different stuff and focus entirely on one thing at a time. So I try to make a habit of "committing" to one thing at a time.

I'm simply not a weak faggot like you.

If I know I have to work for a certain amount of time or complete a certain task, then I will.

You also should have JS disabled (almost) everywhere.

Just disable javascript.

I haven't used YouTube (or anything requiring javashit) in a very, very long time; just don't use the modern web. Visual media (if it isn't old film) is worthless; I hate how people consult egregious YouTube videos for everything when documentation exists.

When you start working in the real world all this crap flies out the window because the things distracting you aren't faggy youtube videos and your own ADHD. It's other fucking people distracting you because you're trying to work on mashing out some comfy documentation but there's an endless stream of people dropping by your cube to ask for help and an endless stream of meetings you have to attend and some shit in production just broke and it needs to be fixed NOW for a business demo.

Docs are cursed I swear, every time I try to sit down and start making nice high quality swagger docs for api endpoints something catches on fire.

I hate this design so much, everyone is doing it. Turn off javascript and you get the sad little placeholder boxes. At least there was a time when they would at least render server side first (and enhance but handle lack of js gracefully), but now that everyone is using a phone without a clue how to disable javascript, this is what we get.

Initially I would hear the frontend-soyboys praise javascript development so that they could "reuse the same code rendering code". Now they don't even do that.

That's any job. If you are trying to do what you are there for - there is an endless stream of other shit pouring into your day to prevent it happening.

Blocked time in the day to outline docs and get notes put in? Lo! An emergency meeting for meaningless shit to you, but your presence is required "just in case".

The real reason the boxes are there is because it takes 2500ms to actually load the fucking page, so to make it "feel" fast they throw up some placeholder HTML really fast while the rest of the analytics in the background spin their wheels. The most important thing is having some sort of HTML display for the user immediately, even if it's only partial.

What you're seeing is the loading placeholder boxes displayed forever because the rest of the site is broken. They were never put there for your sake. Your use case, the one where JavaScript is disabled, is not a variable in this design choice. If it was, you would not get placeholder boxes.

You're just telling me what I already said, if we're going to state obvious things, I can do that too.

The placeholders would not need to be there if they did rendering on the server side with plain HTML+CSS. What they're doing is loading a minimal temporary version which they display to you while making subsequent javascript api calls to fill in the content.

> Your use case, the one where JavaScript is disabled, is not a variable in this design choice

Of course it isn't a variable, they removed it from consideration. That was the point of the complaint, nonJS users are no longer catered too.

why would you even visit the homepage of youtube? just use the OpenSearch to add it to your firecuck searchbar

>What are your methods of staying productive?

stop paying for internet. go to a library. go to a cafe. download articles and read then when you get home. i really need some scripts to save me from manually downloading shit but i haven't unironically written code in years

>she doesn't use mps-youtube

Anyway, you should just use an MP3 player if you have trouble not shitposting when you're supposed to be working.

Sounds like "fun". Do you get bullied for not completing your work fast enough as well?
