- elteto 3mo agoTIL I am divine! By the way, you have the exact energy of someone who would argue about code style: a prima donna who quotes Emerson when confronted with disagreement.
- maratc 3mo agoYou can build yourself any strawman you want :) In my first ten years of writing Python, I never argued about code style with anyone. It's only after they brought the bots in that I learned that my style is somehow "bad."
- elteto 3mo agoWell, it’s nice you bring up strawmen after you called me a hobgoblin (a delicious word btw). I hope this _divine_ irony is not lost on someone like yourself. > I learned that my style is somehow "bad." That’s what you are missing: your style is not bad at all. It’s just your style. Use it for yourself! Teams work on shared ground. Automatic formatting is just part of that shared ground.
- maratc 3mo agoI’ve written it up-thread: you want me (and possibly, everybody) to be a cog wheel. But I want to be an artist.
- OoooooooO 3mo agoThat does work in private projects but not in team projects.
- Yossarrian22 3mo agoIt’s fine to be Howard Roark on a commission or pet project by yourself or a small team, but not when working on a subdivision with many hands touching it
- elteto 3mo agoI don’t want you to be anything but a team player. Let’s work together and get it done. Be an artist on your time, not mine.
