Imagine your worst dev nightmare in 4 words
Week 36 Group Rant

Prettier formatter, AirBnB linter.

Prettier defaults to double quotes for strings. AirBnB loves it some single quotes. Would probably be able to change the configuration in order to maintain sanity *now*, but when I was a newbie dev, I was given a repo with AirBnB linting built in after being recommended Prettier.

It was not fun times.

    @Tamrael single quotes for strings are my nightmares. Mainly because I started programming in C++ and C#. Single quotes are for characters (and thats how I use it in javascript and PHP as well)

    @Codex404 Right? It seems so weird to use single quotes for something larger than a character.

    @Tamrael ah I always use double unless there is a good reason not to.
