dbasner··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing
I love this idea and just installed it. However it falls into a similar problem I have found myself in with iphone's screen time.

On my iphone I have found myself mindlessly clicking the "add 15 minutes" of screen time and typing in my 4 digit code so often that it is now just muscle memory to do so. Yes, I have no self control.

Could you add a feature so you have to type in a pin to continue BUT the number pad is in a random order, to break up muscle memory? Or randomly re-arrange the add 1,5,15 min buttons? Or a math problem?

dbasner··on Ask HN: Who is interested in a book about high performance Erlang?
I'd love to read that! I'm new to errand but found your method of teaching erlang by fixing a real bug in a real project to be incredibly interesting and useful!
