Productivity and properly aligned code
I’m obsessive-compulsive to some degree. Maybe it’s the “designer” in me. When writing code, so much goes into being productive: the monitor, the keyboard, the mood, the editor, the language, etc. Positioning code, for me, is no different. I think this causes me the most headache when working with others. Most of the people I work with use good programming practices, but not everyone feels the same about their style. Personally, I prefer the tab set to 2 spaces and one line in between methods. I’d say I’m the only one (here) who actually cares about spacing, but I don’t know that I can help it. When it’s my turn to work on a file someone else has been editing, I often go through the entire thing and reorganize the spacing and alignment, first. It can be time consuming, but I think I’m more productive when I know everything is formatted appropriately. I can think better. For me, properly formatted code means clean code, and clean code sets the mood, and I’m never more productive than when I’m in the mood to program.
