If the numbers were less visible, or entirely hidden, everyone might live more meaningful, more productive lives online, using posts as means to ends rather than as circulations within the system.

i want to make a custom stylesheet for this site that hides upvote totals on posts and comments for this reason. this is a small site where the numbers don't really matter, but my lizard brain still likes watching numbers go up and i think i would be a lot happier if it didn't.

yeesh that sounds like no fun at all. i tried using the erlang version of that quickcheck library for property based testing in elixir and also found it hard to use effectively. the docs weren't great and i couldn't always figure out how to make the generators specific enough. i just stick with type annotations and unit tests and that's usually good enough for the kind of thing i do.

for what little its worth ive had an easier time using stack with haskell instead of cabal, but only because the book i was learning from used it. but googling for solutions to haskell problems has gotten more difficult now that there's two competing toolchains
