I continue to just not *get* Rubocop, StandardRB, etc.
Rubocop enforces many rules, often badly-considered rules, and adds new rules frequently.
But I get the impression that other people are genuinely bothered by reading code with a variety of quoting styles? Like, there are enough styles out there, and I read enough different code, that to me that's just a sunk cost.
Maybe other people rarely read outside their 'home' codebase?
@codefolio in general, I am very anti-Rubocop. I also don’t find value in enforcing consistency in a codebase.
I do make an exception for performance, gotcha, and security cops. Those are helpful!
@codefolio “try your best to follow the existing style, use your best judgment” — that’s my motto.
@codefolio and if you *are* going to enforce style, it had better happen automatically on save!
@justinweiss @codefolio This is my view on it, too. I want the robots to take care of tiny details I overlooked, but I only want them to get in the way to stop me from doing a big bad that’s subtle and easily missed in human code review.
@jamie @justinweiss Yeah. You could imagine a tool for that, but Rubocop isn't it.
