Worst fight you've had with another dev?
Week 112 Group Rant

My fights with other devs always revolve around the position of curly braces:

Should they be on the same line or should they have a whole line just for themselves?

I mean, if they go on the same line you have less lines of code and you can fit more into the same view, but putting them on a new line makes it all a little less messy

    Wrong! New line, let's fight.

    Actually for me it depends on the standard for the language. In JavaScript I'd have it on the same line, in C# I'd have it on a new line.

    @LynxMagnus I just hate when the editor puts the bracket on the new line. I want to be able to read as many line as possible.

    I'm quite sure that most styleguides suggest putting the opening bracket in the same line, and the closing one in it's own line, but i prefer to put both in their own, separate lines. I find it way clearer

    I do it depending on signature/number of parameters. If it’s a simple conditional or method/function, they’ll go on the same line, if it’s a large object or a method that takes several arguments, then
