undefined | Better HN

Most extension devs can knock something like this out in a weekend. It's steep.

If you price your weekend at $20, it is. Many devs would say $20 is 20 minutes billed time.

Well - frankly I price this at "free-fiddy" because I hammered this out in 5m (just drop it into your console):

Yes it's jQuery (and I know everyone on HN hates jQuery!) - a vanilla JS version would be just as trivial! Wrapping it in a Chrome manifest w/a simple "enable/disable" browser button-type interface would be about 20 minutes I guess.

And by the time you’ve wrapped it up, tested it, made the UI nicer (blur selected text, put a box around what will be blurred, allow for unblurring, etc.), don’t you think there’s something else you could have done for your company that would provide more than $20 value to them?
