I do not believe in "boyscouting". I think if you want to leave it better, make a ticket and do it later. Tacking it on to your already planned work is outside the scope of your original intent. This will impact your team's ability to understand and review your changes. Your codebase is unlikely to be optimized for your whimsy. Worse though is when a reviewer suggests boyscouting.
I've seen too many needless errors after someone happened to "fix a tiny little thing" and then fail to deliver their original task and further distract others trying to resolve the mistake. I believe clear intention and communication are paramount. If I want to make something better, I prefer to file a ticket and do it with intention.
Boyscouting works because you don’t need to get permission to fix tech debt when it is bundled with something else. 98% of those tickets you file to fix warts will never be addressed because the business demands that time is spent on features that make money.
Self plug, but for most chains you can check out https://stablewars.xyz/ to track stablecoin market caps across different chains. We show $29B tether, but difference in values for Ethereum are likely because we discount uncirculated funds, e.g. bridged assets.

Preemptively fulfilling KYC requirements probably eases the barriers to incorporating financial services into the platform. I'm not a fan of this, just thinking out loud
It seems like a stretch to think Instagram is entering the financial services space. Facebook owns Insta and Messenger already offers payments. It's probably more likely that Instagram is using traditional KYC tools, probably developed for other parts of the Facebook ecosystem, to influence other KPIs such as the number of bots in the system. But that's just my own guess as well.
It looks like you've learned a lot, but a lot of people are going to criticize you based off your design skills. Frankly, it's ugly so you're automatically not going to be doing any product work. If you could clean up your demos to look more acceptable to the modern day reviewer, I think you would have better presented yourself.
I considered using a common framework, but I wanted to create some design from scratch. I know it is not good for some people, but I think it added to my skills doing that way. Someday I will try to improve it, but still using my own ideias, to see if it gets better. But with the job now and all I have to learn, it is not a priority.
If I were to create a product, I wouldn't try to be creative. I would just use some modern CSS framework.
I agree it is better to have a good grasp of css before using a CSS framework. If you haven't already, checkout this fantastic new CSS/layout tutorial/book:
Because it's unnecessarily tactless and bordering on hurtful. Learning how to give honest feedback without being so cutting is a skill the commentor should learn.
How do you define degree of tactlessness? It was so nice of him to call that website 'ugly'. It is totally unacceptable to downvote someone for telling the truth(no matter how ugly it is).
Exactly. There's this poisonous atmosphere in HN that dislikes criticizing honestly. In fact, throw in some compliments and you'll get a zillion upvotes. But complain about something, and fear getting banned...
Reminds me when my friend told me he was up like %30 using Wealthfront and I should complete his referral. And I told him the S&P was up the same amount over the past year, but I only paid a 0.05% fee.
uBlock Origin is written by gorhill, a user of much respect. I can't say I've heard of anyone auditing its source code, but you may find reading his comments interesting to make a better guess as to its legitimacy https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=gorhill He seems pretty cool to me. And you can peruse the issues in the repo https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock I'm pretty sure you can't delete issues, so if someone found something and reported it you should be able to find it.
