There are several different styles of indentation out there, it is true. But as long as you pick one, no one will yell at you even if we prefer one of the others. It is far far far far far more important that you have indented source code, then that you pick 1TBS over Allman or whatever.Originally Posted by rogster001
>Albeit badly paraphrased, your point was good. Design is more important
In my experience, sloppy coders are sloppy designers, and meticulous coders are meticulous designers. You can't be a meticulous designer, then just flip a switch and write sloppy code; it goes too much against the grain. So it's usually a safe assumption that if the code is written without a care, the design is likely to be poor as well.
My best code is written with the delete key.
It's a lot like preparing a meal, actually. Presentation doesn't make the food taste any better, but it makes a big difference nonetheless.well there are certainly some freudian classics that could be applied yes..but obbsessing over minutae is what it is all about like you say, otherwise no software would be released to start with, not working versions anyhow
The main thing to remember, though, is just to be consistent. Choose a good style and stick with it.
then could we say as a chef would...'the first byte is with the eyes'
....i'll get my coat...
