Bad part is - as a young dev I was into Knuth and Uncle Bob and formatting code in beautiful way so someone who reads it is not amazed but gets the ideas what and why instantly.
Worse for me was realization that we don’t speak the same language with people and making ‘a + b*c’ does not mean really much for people and they rather nag that I am not using spacing uniformly.
So I declared bankruptcy on intelligent code writing and became brute as others so I don’t even care how variables are named I will just debug it 5 times or more with different inputs and I will know for sure what the code does.
Keep in mind Knuth and Bob Martin come from old school where you had to wait long for getting your code run - nowadays I can run locally code multiple times and find out what it is doing on the spot … so my point code or beautiful code means a lot leas in daily work than 40 years ago…
