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.
@justinweiss @codefolio I’ve given up fighting for judgement over enforcement. I’d rather not argue, so standardrb is fine.
I do hate vanilla rubocop, though, and I don’t consider defaults to be writing ruby; you are now writing rubocop. The defaults being overboard makes configuration a new battlefield for bikeshedding. Also, the magic comment annotations are pollution.
