  1. Anyone claiming that their devs write đź’© code, I challenge them to do one thing: install pre-commit and an auto-linter like black or Rustfmt. I've worked with quants for a decade. From my experience, 90% of the time all you need to turn their garbage code into beautiful code is a single button-push.

  2. "You'll never leave me, will you ELIZA? ...ELIZA?" ELIZA: "And how would that make you feel?"

  3. ​ @personalbranddata You're misunderstanding. It's not me who's conflating the two, it's the managers who claim that their devs (more often quants) write garbage code when in actuality no one ever trained them in proper style conventions. Plus—and this is all from personal experience as both an autodidact developer and as a coach—well-formatted Python, especially, tends to naturally suggest better programming patterns, such as code modularization and functional paradigms.

  4.  @gdwe1831  black is a tool for people who don't want to argue about where to put line breaks. And, as I said in another reply, autoformatting code is an extremely useful tool for exposing code smells.

  5.  @gdwe1831  No, black is a tool for people who want to focus on productivity while still ensuring PEP8 compliance. And as I said, autoformatting a code block is great for exposing code smells.
