Yeah, if IDE's allowed code folding of comments then the authors original problem (having to scroll past comments they thought weren't useful) wouldn't be that big a deal.

If line breaks really were irrelevant, the author wouldn't have felt the need to give a tip all around optimising line breaks. Personally, I would have hoped by 2026 we had better IDE's and tools for managing code in text files su

> Typically keep comments on a single line without line breaks — if a comment is useful, developers will scroll to read them, if it’s not they can easily scroll past it. Disagree. Personally that sounds like a massive barrier to reading

Discussion is fine, let's just try actually linking back to the source.

I'm sad this was just screenshots without a link. I shouldn't have had to find the original posts by hand.

Unfortunately that has no team features, and last time I checked they were quite pushy about not adding any - which is totally fair, they know what product they want to make and are sticking to it! But BitWarden has good team features.

It's not clear if you are suggesting accepting contributions to the SQLite file via PR from people (but accepting contributions is generally the point of why people put these on projects on GitHub). But if you are I wouldn't recom
