- eviks 3y agoThe more realistic outcome is they get onto bikeshedding other choices like pickigng a more configurable tool since, you know, you haven't actually eliminated choices, just reduced them without constraining: infinity - 1 = infinity
- williamdclt 3y agoDidn't happen in the ~dozen team I worked with, so I wouldn't say it's the "more realistic outcome"
- j4yav 3y agoPeople who can’t help but bikeshed will consistently find themselves surrounded by bikeshedding
- AlchemistCamp 3y agoVery true. Tools are often abandoned for being too restrictive and I’ve seen it several times just with formatters alone.
