This puts the lie to the common claim that formatters end formatting decisions. Actually they only move the problem from "how shall I format my code" to "how shall I write my code so that I will like the way my autoformatter formats my code".
- weberc2 7y agoYou misunderstand the point of formatters. They aren’t meant to automate your personal preference; they automate a standard format so your team doesn’t have to waste time deciding on and enforcing a coding standard and so you don’t have to manually implement the standard. Implicit in using a code formatter is the decision to stop navel gazing and put the team first.
