A person just as opinionated as the tool. People who have very strong opinions about formatting in any direction are suspect.

I do not have any opinion on formatting. My argument is that nobody should.

  • your argument is about formatting and clearly you feel strongly about it.

    this is the difference between the atheist who strongly believes nobody should believe and the atheist who isn't interested and doesn't care

    • Yeah, I'm in the "not interested" and "don't care" camp, with the addition of "please don't come at me with your bots who would tell me what to believe and what not to believe".

      If someone wants to use a linter, I have no problem with that. I don't, and I don't want others forcing one on me, especially so as most of its "results" are straight in "this doesn't matter either way" category (in my example: two spaces instead of one, replacing quotes) and the rest make my code verifiably worse (folding a list in one line).
