Type it Out: Extension that disables copying and forces you to type it out

&gt; <i>This extension helps you learn more efficiently.</i><p>The motivation makes sense, but the example screenshots show the user copying variable declarations, a rote task where forcibly typing it doesn&#x27;t provide any insight or knowledge.<p>Therein lies the problem. Not all DIY tasks are constructive learning and might just waste valuable time. I&#x27;m not even sure if forcibly typing code from Stack Overflow would even be insightful unless the intent behind code was properly explained&#x2F;documented.

Hey author here, I built this to combat my bad habit of copy-pasting from stack overflow. It&#x27;s open sourced here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jaxgeller&#x2F;type-it-out" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jaxgeller&#x2F;type-it-out</a>
