Its been a long time. Good on you taking care of the kids. I probably would have kept the boring day job - having the kids and all.

Good to hear from you slack.

In 5 years? I got married, changed two companies and a dozen customers, got into an altercation where weapons and pseudo-mobsters (that's what they tried to pass for, they aren't) were involved followed by 2 criminal lawsuits that are still going on. I doubled my income and now I'm working in the best place I ever worked in, with even a couple of coworkers whom I was friend with during Uni.
I started playing MMOs and I'm liking it. I read bout a couple hundred books and I discovered myself a fan of the Xianxia genre. I discovered a lot of bands, from old classics like Fleetwood Mac and Blue Oyster Cult to local bands that formed less than a year ago, passing through innovative sounds like Mongolian folk metal (The Hu). I started my own LP collection.
Oh and I helped a friend to not end himself.
That's the brief summary I'd say.

I love my music. I've not had a TV for a year out of choice. So would just listen to Spotify most days. I'm into the UK drill(diff to us drill). According to Spotify I listened for 6300 hrs last year and my favourite artist was headie one. I'm in his 0.0001% listeners for 2022. If you Google his wiki you'll probably come to the conclusion that if he knew a 45 year-old white male was his top listener it would f*** his street cred 🤣
Based on what you've told me I think you'd like Louis dunford, fairly unknown even in UK but amazing.

I changed work 2 times and I doubled my income too (like den2k88).
Family grew up.
Hair in my head got reduced and a lot more white.
I started with Kempo.

Nope, but I'll take that as a compliment.  The big guy is still hanging around, I think I saw a message from him recently. I'm just someone with unpronounceable Slavic name that was active here about the same time you were.

Wow, it is nice to hear from you ! Too bad you dropped software, but heck, my last productive line of code was almost 15 years ago, turns out I am better at managing others to do the job for me.
What are you playing ?
I wish you all the best with the kids, and the rest, times are hard.

Are you in this camp
void AFunc(){
}
or this one
void AFunc()
{
}
I'm in the second

Depends on the language.
C#:
Method()
{
}
Javascrip / Typescript:
function() {
}
|
|
|
|
|
same. in C++ i do the latter. In C# I do the former.

I have no opinion about braces one way or the other but I have to ask - Why use different styles in different languages? Given it's a choice it seems your personal sense of style would prefer one style all the time. No?
|
|
|
|

I generally just use what's in the specific language's style guide. It makes it easier when different developers work on a project if we stick to those.

For C/C++ there is about 42 different bracing / indentation styles fighting for dominance, so referring to "the specific language's" style, as if it was unambiguous, is meaningless.
From a logical point, I would prefer
void AFunc() {
}but I have never seen that promoted in any style guide.
The opening brace comes when the statement cannot be completed on the current line, indicating that a block is to follow. You should before you leave the line that you won't find a single one-statement line, but a block. I am one who think "if (day==sunday) weekend = true;" in one line is perfectly fine. "if (day==sunday) {" shows that the statement is not complete.
The following block is indented. An indentation always follows a brace. No an indentation without an opening brace; no opening brace without an indentation.
"if (day==sunday)
{
}starts the indentation before the brace - that is inconsistent!
Undenting follows a closing brace. No undentation without a closing brace, no closing brace without an undentation.
"if (day==sunday)
{
// indented code block
}undents before reaching the closing brace - that is inconsistent.
Noone seems to agree with my logic. So I bow my head and follow whatever style guide is enforced upon me.
Switch statements mess up indentation in C/C++. One common layout is:
switch (day) {
case (day == saturday):
case (day == sunday):
celebrate();
break;
default:
gotowork();
break;
}The case alternatives are not blocks, so they don't need braces (that is also why they need the 'break'!), but they are indented! I certainly wish they were blocks, for consistency's sake (and I really dislike the 'default is fall through'), so I prefer to make them blocks, adding braces, to justify the indentation. Very few agree with this logic, too - they are so used to seeing indents without any braces justifying it that the inconsistency doesn't bother them.

Why not just put blocks in if you prefer it that way? It also makes it so you can declare variables under the case without the compiler yelling at you.
case 1: {
}
break;

Yes, like I said. But I do not undent until after the closing brace, so I would indent that as well (and include the break in the block).
Why not just do it? Because you sometimes have co-workers. For some time, I was using an embedded language (CHILL) which provided the loop construct FOR EVER DO - infinite loops are not uncommon in embedded software. In a new job, programming IoT in C, in one of the modules I was responsible for, I added a "#define ever ;;" for being able to program "for (ever) {...". After a few months, this was discovered by another programmer (not working on my module), who immediately searched through the entire repository to reveal ever use of such "programming jokes", changing them all to "while (0)", deleting the #define and adding a rude remark on the edit where he requested that all programmers refrain from such unserious coding practices in the future.
In the next scrum, he brought up his discovery, reporting to everybody how he had 'cleaned up' my code. I asked if he would accept "while (true)", but no: The proper way to code an infinite loop is "while (0)", with a zero. In classical C, "true" is a #define symbol, not part of the base language, and should not be used for fundamental things such as infinite loops.
I got no support from the team at all. Not even for "while (true)".
In a code review with the same team, I was asked why I would "clutter up" the code with such unnecessary braces in switch statements. I had the same remarks when I added braces to justify the indentation in one-line conditional statements, like
if (day == sunday) {
relax();
}The coding standard did not allow the "relax()" to be put on the same line as the "if", but mandated the indentation. It didn't explicitly forbid the braces I would like to add - but the programming team did, telling me to remove them.
That's how it is working in a team. You have to be obedient. Don't try to make code more readable, or consistent, or safer, if it breaks with the unwritten laws of the team.

I've been spoiled for years by being in a situation where I set the standards and control the direction on account of my experience.
That said, I understand where you are coming from, but I don't envy you your coworkers. It sounds like you don't have enough written coding standards.
If you all wanted to increase your productivity and reduce problems, you'd have linting and formatting scripts for this if the project is significant enough in size. Or at least that's what I'd do, as it tends to pay for itself in terms of more legible and consistent code, and shorter code reviews.
