You might be right, problem is that I’m already appeasing her by not writing in a language that I know, but in one that she knows. However I’m enlightened by your correction, might explain things.

She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder [for her] to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)
Fixed it for you. She’s imposing her preferences on the class. Unfortunately, it’s easiest to just suck it up and appease her than to fight it. Just my two cents.

It’s very rare in the industry for you to start something and have the flexibility to pick the language. You’re much more likely to be working on an existing system or expected to work with whatever the company uses.
That said, there’s plenty of opportunity to make your own decisions. Having to follow arbitrary style rules is hardly a consideration (actually you’ll find it’s hard enough just to have consistent arbitrary rules within a company).

Oh yea, definitely just follow the arbitrary preference. It’s actually pretty good practice for your professional life to learn to follow the occasional arbitrary bullshit… you’ll need to obey a depressing amount of it in most large companies (especially a shitshow like Google).

You either learn to work within a system or you build your own system. Guess where the money is.
At the end of the day, following your own coding preferences isn’t the fun part of the job. The fun part of the job is looking back and saying “hey, I did that.”

Oh, don’t worry, every other job has to deal with the same bullshit or worse and we get to have fun solving problems.
