I looked at this source when you shared it and had planned to show it to a few engineers on my team. Now, sadly, the file is gone. Any chance you can put it back up?

> The company's codebase is not your space

That’s one possible way to look at “the company’s code.” Another one is that you’re in “that” code six (or more) hours a day and it’s usually written by someone else. So if everyone codes to _their_ comfort, there’s a likelihood that no one is comfortable in the code ever. I find code style standards that a team as a whole has compromised upon (aka consistency) a reasonable approach to “average comfort.”
