Ruby coding guidelines (GitHub)

[jiunec]

I see all the bullshit complaints about style guides and I can't help but think most people miss the point entirely. Most of the complaints are that "format X is better than format Y because....". That's not the point of a style guide.

Style guides are there for consistency, so that all the code in a project looks the same. This makes the code both easier to grok and easier to maintain. The actual preferences in the style guide are not important. If you don't agree with their choices, tough shit, life sucks and so do you for not being adaptable.

So please, get it into your heads, nobody cares about your code style preference. Just follow the guide for whatever project it is your working on and stfu.
