The Pinking Shears stir from their slumber, awakened by what may seem, to those innocent in the ways of The Shears, a triviality, a nothing-of-consequence. But there are consequences indeed for recklessly trailing your whitespace. Naturally, they a dire!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The Pinking Shears went snicker-snack!
They plucked your tail and with your space
They went sniksnuking back.
Let me tell you, that can be uncomfortable, so always pre-sniksnuk your trailing whites. May The Shears be with you.
- ChrisDutrow 11y agoWhat really struck me about this is that for me, personally, it would be very difficult to use both of the skill sets demonstrated here at the same time: coding and writing prose.
- moheeb 11y agoIt doesn't surprise me that someone that would make a change like that would leave a comment like that. They removed a trailing space from a comment! They have plenty of free time to write witty check-in comments.
- OJFord 11y agoI definitely aim to remove things like that, but I tend to sneak it in with something else (partly because the fix likely came as soon as I used an editor properly configured to strip it). I'm not sure if that's a 'bad' practice or just not the purest. But I don't think removing trailing comment space is bad in itself. As above, it probably didn't take any time at all; done automatically by a well-configured editor.
