Agreed with you and the GP. In one project I’m on, I pushed for linting and formatting checks in our CI not because I’m an “insane weirdo” who cares too much about formatting, but precisely because I don’t care, I just want it to be consistent. I don’t really have an opinion about which style or format or whatever is better, I just don’t want to have to read through 6 different coding styles when I scan through my colleagues’ code.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6y agoHaving a consistent style enforced by an automatic tool set (linter/autoformatter/etc) means no time needs to be wasted in any given PR arguing about style, or waiting for someone to fix a style mistake. You might still waste time arguing about what the rules should be, but that's often less than the cumulative waste of fixing avoidable crap.
