I do think that being opinionated about code style leads to code that's easier to read and maintain. I was just delighted to find someone whose tastes diverged so distinctly from my own in a smaller language community.
- bcrosby95 5y agoAside from using an automated formatter/linter, I think being opinionated about code style is only really sustainable for single person projects. Otherwise it leads to inconsistent code reviews where people are making changes for reasons they can't understand.
- innocentoldguy 5y agoIt's one thing to be opinionated about code styles, but I would argue that doing so when those opinions go against standard idioms is a recipe for disaster. If I ran across a lot of these suggestions in code, I'd refactor them to be more idiomatic/practical.
