Im sure you write very readable code, but in most companies, there are a bunch of devs who completely rape the codebase with unintelligble bullshit. The linter is the first line of…

The point is that in the large picture there are many much more important topics with higher impact to focus on. The company wont make much more money by having consistently format…

Please inform me what the defaults are for Java, C#, C++, C, Bash and Python?

Do you guys never read code as side by side diffs in the browser?

There’s no trick to it, you’re overanalyzing. It’s just saing if I were a stone -> no experience, a bat -> some kind of experience. It is not claiming to define the ”something” as …

I would say a lot would need to be added. Given the same input, the tetris game will respond exactly the same each time. There is no awareness, learning, no decisions made, but pur…
