I think you’re underestimating how opinionated developers are. The fact that we are disagreeing on this point is great evidence that there isn’t an easy to def

  I know very well how opinionated other developers are. I'm explicitly saying it's a waste of energy to be that picky about code style. There is an easy to define line: there is no line. It's not a boundary where "over here is good code" and "over there, not" we just don't have a good idea of where the line is. No. There is absolutely no line.

    > I know very well how opinionated other developers are. I'm explicitly saying it's a waste of energy to be that picky about code style. To be honest, I completely agree with you. The point I make is that not everyone would. And that disagreement alone results in a blurry line as to what some would consider important and what others would not. But personally, I honestly do wish more people had the same opinion as you.

      I'm not going to argue about what style is best like whether or not tabs are superior to spaces or if you should cuddle your elses (other than for my own amusement of course), I just want there to be a style, singular, that the whole project uses. It's nicer that way. Like, I certainly could finish a book where they changed which font/size they were using every chapter or whatever, but why would I want this?
