Programmer aesthetics: “your engineering taste is composed of the set of engineering values you find most important.” // And: “most bad taste comes from inflexibility. I will always distrust engineers who justify decisions by saying ‘it’s best practice.’ No engineering decision is ‘best practice’ in all contexts! You have to make the right decision for the specific problem you’re facing.” 🔗 What is “good taste” in software engineering?

They advocate for using JSON (with comments) over YAML: “Generating json as a better yaml Often the choice of format is not ours to make, and an application only accepts yaml.
