Should be studying but my linux is not going to beautify itself

Manager: Why are you always refactoring?

Me: Refactoring keeps the codebase's entropy in check :)

Manager: mind blown!!

In a mobile project far far away...

Dev: Now we need a ui expert to beautify the app.
Boss: we dont need him its beautiful as it is.

5 mins later....

Boss: here Is a ton of ui changes dear dev. I trust that you have creative insight to make changes that I like :)

Because it seems like everyone has this kind of stuff in their office I made one too:

Whoa, someone forked my repo on GitHub!

Now I'm terrified that someone is reading my hot-mess code.

I recently realized that I've been using 2 text editors and 1 IDE pretty much at the same time for different purposes.

Atom -> Code Beautification (atom-beautify is simply the best)
VSCode -> for actual coding (blazing fast and quite good completions)
Webstorm -> cleanup the code, optimize imports

And that made me thing why is it so hard to have all these things in one application (be it a core feature or a plugin/extension). And then I realized smth, only webstorm more has all the features built in, but I don't need/want full IDE for web development (Angular / React) alas it has great features like component automatic imports etc, but not a deal breaker.

So I am having a dilllema. On one hand, Atom has everything I need (especially atom-beautify, my OCD is at peace) except for proper completions (partially solved with extensions) and terminal integrations. On the other hand, VSCode is very fast, has good code assistance but half-broken import completions and terrible code beautification even with extensions such as jsbeautify that require you to have a separate file for each project instead of it being an editor setting/plugin like in Atom.

/* insert joke here */ When will Atom and VSCode go super Saiyan mode and become "Atomized Visual Code" :P I wanna stop bunny hopping between editors!

All these people arguing between tabs and indentation. Use a beautify plugin or something and don't even care. Don't be a pious fool and keep coding man. Sentiments are wasteful.

The period of your life before you discovered your editor had a beautify plugin.

every new smartphone these days seems to be like one of those scify movie aliens with weird eyes (dual camera lenses) .
I mean, pixel phones clearly shows that having a top-notch software for single camera is already at par with dual cam setups .

And yet huawei is slaying them all .
New huawei flagship phone : awesome specs , ai beautify , blah blah lens , blah blah block chain 16 mp AND "2MP " dual camera setup .

they are like yeah surely we give them dual cameras, but why bother because no one will read after the word "DUAL"

xD

So we got a new Front-End intern today.

My senior was demonstrating to her how to minify and beautify JavaScript codes.

And I'm like WTF dude she has worked with Front-End technologies and she knows that.
And who the fuck beautifies and again minify jQuery script. Totally idiot.

Got my stichers to beautify my baby.
Also how is it going guys? I am to busy to hang around :(

When you accidentally try to beautify Zlatan

Too lazy to resume coding. Professionally slack off by tidying up codes. Using Beautify.

Panic mode:

When you've been writing code without checking it for some time now, hit beautify file and everything shifts by one indent

Spent most of my time studying algorithms, data structures and other theoretical stuffs in college. But tried to do some web development with heavy frontend for course projects and for fun (beautify my cv as well)

Interviewers: wow, you'r experience quite focused on frontend and graphics
Me: (poker face…)

Open question:

Do you and your dev team openly embrace using a formatter for your projects, or do you not? And why?

My senior dev is trying to argue that it creates too much noise for commits, especially on older files and it's driving me nuts because I religiously use it (default TS formatter in VSCode btw, nothing crazy or super opinionated!)

So I'm currently having a love/hate relationship with Atom... I love that it only has what I want and nothing more, but I hate that it lacks a lot of basic features like automatically adding the closing tags to my html, and the only beautifying package I can find defaults to two spaces instead of my usual 4 and I can't find how to change it.

Does anyone know how to change the spacing on the beautify package? And does anyone know a package that will auto close my html tags?

The dude who write almost spaghetti code and when it work beautify to commit to github.
