"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

TIL I am divine!

By the way, you have the exact energy of someone who would argue about code style: a prima donna who quotes Emerson when confronted with disagreement.

  • You can build yourself any strawman you want :)

    In my first ten years of writing Python, I never argued about code style with anyone. It's only after they brought the bots in that I learned that my style is somehow "bad."

    • Well, it’s nice you bring up strawmen after you called me a hobgoblin (a delicious word btw). I hope this _divine_ irony is not lost on someone like yourself.

      > I learned that my style is somehow "bad."

      That’s what you are missing: your style is not bad at all. It’s just your style. Use it for yourself!

      Teams work on shared ground. Automatic formatting is just part of that shared ground.
