Ask HN: Why/why not do you use opinionated formatters? (e.g. Black, Prettier?)
- CleverLikeAnOx 4y agoWhy: Avoid time wasting nit-picks on PRs. Consistent formatting may be easier to quickly read. Why not: Avoid taking a dependency. Avoid "fix formatting" commits (or the complexity of having a system auto-apply formatting). Formatters don't always make the most readable code. Sometimes non-standard formatting actually communicates more clearly.
