Isn't this a people problem and not a technical problem?
- abenga 3y agoPeople will never agree about minor, non-consequential choices, especially choices that are not objectively good or bad. Where these decisions have no effect on the quality of the output of the work (like trivial formatting settings), it's better to pick an arbitrary side, e.g. choose Black's set of decisions, live with them, and focus on actual work.
- dolni 3y agoYes, and what I am saying is that if people on your team cannot let a trivial, unimportant technical detail go, that is a people problem. You may have avoided the silly argument about code formatting. But if that tendency lives in your engineers, they will find another nit to pick somewhere else. In my opinion this is not a problem best solved by technology.
- abenga 3y agoBut someone on the team has to take time, no matter how little, to choose which way to go for all these pointless nits. Again, they don't matter, why does anyone on the team have to work on them? Just use Black's settings and move on.
