On: Ask HN: Which tools have made you a much better programmer?

Why is reddit hard to block? I put that in my hosts from time to time and it works fine.

The real problem is how incredibly hard it is to set edit the hosts file on mobile. At least without using a VPN app or something.

When you are programming in some lesser known graphics frameworks like libgdx or when you are using OpenGl then the special Reddit subpages are more active than stackoverflow. For example I implemented a framebuffer in OpenGL wrong a few weeks ago but the output then is just a black screen. Some redditor mentioned that specific thing in a comment on /r/OpenGL
