Egads. No, it isn't the focus of the repo. You keep on missing the forest for the trees.
Tinygrad expresses its ideas succiently and clearly. It is not an exercise in code golfing. Close to the end of feature completeness they noticed it is hovering a round number and spent a minor effort pushing it down slightly for street cred.
Those changes did not impair readability or harm the project in any way. They did not go over board. You say they did, I reckon, just because you are allergic to any such changes - that is your personal subjective opinion. A waste of time you say! Bah humbug!
Well, yeah, so? Heh.
I say run it through black and make it objective, it is a great tool. It will reveal just how minor the difference is in this specific case.
I keep trying to focus on the substance. Did you actually read this project? Not through the eyes of a human linter? Was it difficult to follow? What are we arguing about if not the absolutely least interesting aspect of it really?
