It's Maoni and she is great. GP is unreasonably personalizing a formatting preference.



Thanks. I corrected her name. What culture influenced reading can produce :)

You can't attack someone like that here and if you do it again we will ban you.

Attacking unorthodox preferences in programming is bad enough. Chuck Moore and Arthur Whitney like to see their entire programs in one screen. Most people consider that crazy but they are two of the greatest programmers of all time. If someone else likes a single long file, that's their preference. Here's what we should do: stop calling people crazy and stop punishing differences. We need more outliers in programming. The reflex to knock people down when they deviate is a huge limiting factor in this business.


Please reread your comment and think about your attitude.
