This attitude that: if it ain't broke, don't destroy it, is something I'm finding myself valuing increasingly. I use Stylish to make HN look a bit more readable and prettier, and beyond that, it functions exactly how I want it to and I'm glad to see that the institutional momentum here is a core value.

That's actually a nice way of putting it! Better than the "fix" version, because this is clear on the consequences.
I feel like it might be applied to everything from OS UI design (Windows 11), web platform redesigns (Google's icons) to whatever is going on with social media (the silly enshittification term describes this) and many other things.

Yeah, it really is "destroy".
Let's say that you are the proud owner of a goose that lays golden eggs. "fixing" would be switching it to a different feed that might make it more productive, or it might make it sick. But this year the trend is to give it a few good kicks to see if that helps.

All I do is hit cmd+plus to increase the font size.

Move slowly and preserve things.

Take a look at my profile and CSS hacks, if you're interested.
(I've a slightly more updated set locally, can share those if requested.)
