It's *especially* not cool when you modify my code (which *did* have it spaced correctly) to condense it into the aforementioned abomination.
No, seriously. It's even against the design standard our company is purportedly following.
Just. Don't. Do it. -
JannikHv5046yI'm more of a
if (expression) {
...
}
kind of guy. I (personally) find it very distracting to read code similar to:
if ( expression ) {
...
} -
musician9426y@Jantho1990 then why dont you have an auto format on commit? Saves man hours of arguments in the long run
-
if (expression) {
}
That is what I meant. Though
if ( expression ) {
}
is still more readable than
if(expression){
} -
@musician Not my code, someone else is doing it and our team does zero automated style enforcement.
-
musician9426y@Jantho1990 well time to bring it up in a meeting then. Forced coding guidelines (even if you dont 100% agree with them) helps everyone and will bring and end to useless discussions. I for example disagree with the space before the parentheses because to me the ( is enough seperation. But if it was enforced I wouldnt care about it and let the linter do the job.
-
Oh I personally can't stand spaces there! I always remove them if any or if they appear while programming 😥
-
I use the php-cs-fixer tool to fix any formatting issues I forgot about, as well as anything that a team member did. With a large enough codebase that doesn't get checked, take a moment to enjoy others pain as they pull the commit off just formatting fixes.

Korvax31Italian chef: We have the best spaghetti in the world PHP developer: I doubt that
For the love of all things sacred, put a damn space between your parentheses and whatever comes before/after them. It is totally not cool to read if(expression){}.
No, seriously, I mean that.
