27

Was forced to code like this:

if(condition)
{
//code
}

Instead of this

if(condition){
//code
}

Also I should mention that this happened 4 years ago and my mentor (27 years old economy major at the time) did not know how to use git, we stored projects on a shared networking folder.

    if its C# then I'd understand why forcing

    {

    }

    But using a shared network folder is just too much to deal with ...

    To be fair I definitely prefer the former over the later. I find it much cleaner and gives a bit of a break between code lines.

    But using network share drives instead of a repo is just gross

    It's a good practice if the styleguide forces one of these styles to make the code base consistent.

    I prefer the first option, but when (fortunately few times) i have to code in js, the styleguide "force" me to use the second one

    First one ftw
    tatata()
    {
    |
    }
    is clear and beautiful. Can easily find blocks limits without an IDE.

    tatata(){
    /
    /
    }
    is a meaningless way to save lines or whatever. Totally unpractical.

    Correct indentation should clearly show the code blocks.

    I use codestyle of default IDE formating.

    Write like a monkey, press ctrl+E,D (for visual studio) and you are done.

    @NoToJavaScript doesn't work in some cases.

    Scala can confuse intellij because it thinks its formatting java.

    @cmarshall10450 True.

    But works well for my stack : C#, HTML, SASS, TypeScript

    Dude, in my company guys even don't know what is going on with versioning and they are just dragging and droping files on filezilla XD

    I agree that the first way is better, at least in my opinion, but in the end it depends on the language and it's standards so when a new person comes in with different IDE settings or knowing the standards everything keeps working

    >Not know how to use git
    Leeaaaarrrnnnn, its fucking simple. God damn people that don't even try

    Worst thing ever:
    if (cond)
    {
    //Do stuff
    }
    else
    if (cond2)
    {
    //Do other stuff
    }
    else
    {
    //Some more stuff
    }

    "This is better!"

    "No, that is better!"

    Use the standard your team uses, that's the important part.

    Just configure your code formater
