Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread titled 'Visual Programming Doesn't Suck'. The one comment cites the Visual Studio XAML designer, which shows the generated UI beside the markup, as another example of visual augmentation.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Michael Crump writes about software development, Developer Relations, developer tools, AI, and lessons learned while building things.
What Hacker News says?
Regarding visual augmentation, the Visual Studio XAML designer is another good example. You can edit the XAML markup and see the generated UI in another pane. https://www.michaelcrump.net/files/SNAGHTMLb3b1ee0_634588657...
