Heh, I don't fit the pattern very well. I am known to be grumpy. But my agnosticism is much too broad for me to engage in code rage. I sometimes cut-n-paste. I sometimes put the curly brace on the same line or the line after. I sometimes use library widgets and sometimes roll my own. Patterns are phantastmagoric pareidolia. I'm incapable of playing code cop ... not because I don't care, but because it's all about context to me ... whatever gets you through to a _working_ pile of @#%!$ is fine by me. I think this is because I was reared as a simulant. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what's _inside_. What goes in or out is all that matters ... maybe I'm a behaviorist ... the holographic principle gone awry.
But I will defend those spittle spewing morlocks to the death, perhaps because of my inability to play their role. On 10/31/2016 02:40 PM, Steven A Smith wrote:

" This whole line of observation seems somewhat like a simple point-example of the broader idea that nothing (and no-one) exists in isolation, everything is part of a larger ecology, and every role, no matter how absurd nor humble contributes to the milieu. I suspect even the lowly dung-beetle imagines him(her)self to be a (ig?)noble apex predator! - Steve PS. I DO have a gray beard and it is more often flecked with my lunch than spittle, but I do recognize the image you paint in the mirror... now "get off my lawn!"
