Re:Formatting code should be unnecessary by yoyohello13 on Monday September 08, 2025 @01:04PM (#45170790)
Same! I have no patience for these kind of arguments about formatting. I don't care that you don't like what the formatter does, it isn't about you. I've written code in several different languages over the years and the main take away is that I can get used to reading anything. It's so important to pick a standard and follow it. As long as that standard is somewhat sane I couldn't care less what the actual standard is.

Another argument that is a pet peeve of mine is significant white-space vs curly braces. It literally doesn't matter. We often get new Python developers coming from a C# background and the amount of bitching about curly braces is so annoying. Just learn the language bro, it's not that hard.
