Whereas I'd hate to have to write code that didn't have braces
on their own
line. It's far better for us both to be able to write code the
way that we
want than try and force standard formatting rules of some kind.
IMHO, they add
little to no value and definitely make coding less enjoyable.
My vision: Jonathan checks out Jesses code to fix a bug. On
opening the file his editor automatically reformats to
braces-on-own-line. When committing the fix, a pre-commit hook
reformats to the project-specific style braces-on-same-line.
Everybody is happy. :)
Of course, there are edge cases, where automatic formatting
should be broken. However, I think we should let them be and
adapt. I also add code sometimes, just to remove a compiler
warning like "unused argument". Likewise, I am fine with minor
noise in exchange for consistent styling like described above.
