> Will it be harder to onboard developers? Will debugging code be more difficult? If the answer to any [sic] of these questions is yes then the BFED will say no to preprocessors. — TFA Read literally, the paragraph says “If there are any downsides, do not use preprocessors.” A more balanced approach of weighing upsides and downsides is not supported by the original text. If the author wanted to say something different, he can and should have done so. I encourage him to change his call to action from “say no to preprocessors” to “be conscious of decisions.” It’s much more defensible and realistic!
