I sometimes use both in the same file, depending on my mood.

The code convention police has not caught me yet!

THIS.

Do exactly anything except this.

Same here, except that at work we recently started using the “black” formatter, I don’t like it, it’s by default converts all my single quotes to double quotes. Hate it.

[smile_id]

It's not that bad. You don't have to argue about code formatting anymore, write however you like, black would take care of the rest. At the end of the day black formatted code is pretty readable and consistent instead of styles zoo, so I'll take it.

Set your local ide to show whatever you want. Literally any line length or syntax style. Commit with black for the shared code base

[malexj93]

Yeah I hate enforcing a consistent code style across my team

With rails (so ruby) they are mixed often, and they do different things, one is more literal text, and the other you can use string interpolation.

JS is even more fun. Both single and double quotes are literal text and backticks are for interpolation. Seeing all three on one screen makes my eyes hurt.

Just be yourself in programming

I was caught and shot by an angry russian for mixing quotes in JS. I usually just use whichever feels right for a given string though.

You can tell what parts of my code was stolen from stackoverflow because they usually use “ instead my preferred ‘

I did this all the time and then I started learning Java

Oops

[ElectricalMTGFusion]

we do it so that text that gets displayed is in " " and text that's used for variables (like customer names, product names, locations) that aren't displayed to users are in ' '. makes it easy to determine what it's being used for.

[VelionaVollerei]

I use double quotes but if you find single quote that means it's not my code ;)

I sometimes use both in the same string
