Agreed rolling your own has hidden costs too and is often not the right choice. Ime, though, this lesson has almost achieved meme status. So while both types of mistakes are made, the "hidden costs of 3rd party tools" is often no

I thought the criticisms and praise, and the article's Good/Neutral/Bad structure, were fair and thoughtful on balance. It didn't read as arrogant to me.

Totally agree, but you need an iron-fisted formatter to make that work. Because otherwise you get an ever-changing quilt of every dev's style du jour, and while I don't think the specific formatting you use matters, I think sl

Unless you drew inspiration from them (I'm assuming no, since you just heard about them), "Acknowledgements" doesn't seem right. "Similar Projects" would be more accurate.

And if GH deletes, and anyone else opens a new PR like you did, then those commits would remain until a second GH admin intervened, and so on?

Also, after doing that, I had to open dev tools and delete the main node for the modal that was covering the page. After that I could take the test.

I like your advice, but I think there is a reason for the complaints. An indefensible complexity has become the new normal. And it's what many people are forced to suffer through at work. If having a chorus of complaining dissenters

Well, even if you think it's all self-delusion, the ceremony around it is real and that's an important difference.

The moderation here is very good, but I think cultural self-selection is a big factor too. Speaking broadly, it attracts technical, logical people who share values and standards around reasoned debate. I don't see that part scaling t

Thanks. I'm guessing (based on my knowledge of J and all its optimizations/special forms) that Dyalog APL would still be more performant too? I didn't see it mentioned on the GH README.

Using -r there works fine for me, though your SC2034 complaint is valid, in that it essentially prevents from you from using a very specific built in formatter provided by "local -p". This feels like a rare case, and I'd have
