Ask HN: Do You Like Your Coding Style?

1 points by VierScar 12y ago ↗ HN

Hey HN,

Many of you work for companies that have their own mandated Code Style Guidelines. I wan't to ask - do you like them? Or do you have your own style you would prefer?

I ask this because I've worked on (but since stopped) a product which converts company style to your style, for you to edit. When you are done, it converts it back before you commit.

What do you think?

Ce here to say yesterdays or todays as it changes all the time but now i see you were talking about the other 'style'.

Code reviews would be fun...

Seems pointless / useless to me but not unsellable imo.

I like our style guidelines pretty well. The bigger problem I have is that some of my co-workers ignore them. Maybe I should get them to use your product :-)

Can I ask - do you use Git or SVN? (or something else)
