If I didn't want to have opinions, I would join a cult.





You're welcome to your opinions, I don't stop engineers I'm working with from having opinions about the code formatting. It's still going to be formatted by the opinionated formatter.

Having one gets us into the "Well, it's not quite what I want but at least it's consistent", and it gets rid of arguments that don't really provide anywhere near the amount of value engineers feel they do. There are almost always significantly better and more productive things to be spending time figuring out.


save your opinions for the things that really matter instead of another bikeshed to build! (not telling you to shut up, btw :) )
