Hard forking a project to make use of the hard work the maintainers put in to it, then writing a post doing nothing but insulting those maintainer's decisions / preferences, is not a good look. Neither is throwing temper tantrums in issue threads: https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1178#issuecomment-565383116 https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1178#issuecomment-565383...
Also if this developer wasn't so obsessed with bikeshedding, they could just edit the one bit of formatting code and republish. That way they could even rebase off of upstream if they wanted.
Personally, I much prefer black's indentation scheme. I also like spending as little time as possible agonizing over minutia like this.

- ashtonkem 6y agoThe Black maintainers have the patience of the saints; I would’ve just responded with a curt “ok, good” and locked the discussion at that point.
- beshrkayali 6y agoThe dude writes "Black violates pep8 recommendation" in his title (notice recommendation), yet, feels strong enough to say "This is a bug. Period." after threatening with a fork (lol?). Not to bring back that whole maintainer vs contributors discussion, but this is a solid example of entitlement some contributes feel.
- ashtonkem 6y agoIt’s also an example of disastrous negotiation. You can’t threaten to do something that doesn’t negatively effect people; they won’t care.
- mercer 6y agoOof. This kind of behavior would be enough for me to pass on hiring someone if I discovered it during the interview process... EDIT: It also gives "I code stuff and try to crash in creative ways." in his profile a somewhat different meaning.
- tcbasche 6y agoIt seems like they had an issue, they came up against a fairly standard response from an open source community, and then had several public hissy fits about it. > Personally, I much prefer black's indentation scheme. I also like spending as little time as possible agonizing over minutia like this. The strain of bothering over this stuff just isn't worth my time either - I have actual work to do, and the tools tend to just do what I need them to. If they don't, I move on.
- ashtonkem 6y agoThis is why I leave IntelliJ to the default code style settings for Java; they’re good enough, and I have more important things to do.
