"my approach to code formatting is the best. If it weren't, I wouldn't use it. Formatting is part of my being - an extension of my genetic makeup. And, when I write code, my formatting is the fingerprint that I leave behind. When I'm asked to change my style, I am - quite literally - asked to deny a fundamental Truth of my being." This is some seriously arrogant, even anti-social (coding) shit. I'm sure his approach is the best. And the next person will say the same. Pretty soon, you're stuck because you can't agree on style and you've wasted all the time debating style. Get an automated formatter and be done with it. Or do it manually in a consistent style. Such arrogant attitudes don't belong anywhere in the professional world. Imagine if people said that about blueprints and CAD drawings. Nothing would ever get built.
