You've just indicated that you will burden your future colleagues with non-standard naming." | |

| May 25, 2014 at 16:58 | comment | added | Morwenn | It's true that I did not consider it under that angle. I probably always assumed that we were pursuing some kind of goal to review code that could also be good production code (you know, the "real code that you wrote or that you maintain" requirement in the code you can post here). I would think that anybody that has read some tutorials has already encountered different coding styles though. | |
| May 25, 2014 at 16:39 | comment | added | B.K. | @Morwenn I don't argue the fact that consistency should be made in the production code, but should the style of OP's casing, for example, influence the input from others? If anything, it removes the possibility of diversity. There's no major harm in non-radical style. Perhaps OP only knows one style, or didn't know about another possibility. An introduction of another style may actually benefit them. | |
| May 25, 2014 at 16:24 | comment | added | Morwenn | Probably because Code Review tries to help people writing good and maintainable code and that consistency is one of the keys to write maintainable code. | |

| May 25, 2014 at 16:13 | comment | added | B.K. | @Morwenn So you give me a link of an article about the dispute in the community. It's fine. But it shouldn't affect the answers. Why would there a need to be consistency if the answer has a viable solution? The OP can simply alter it to their own style. If anything, it provides an benefit of exposing various styles. By the way, no need to post two comments 1 minute apart from each other. You may edit the comment. | |

| May 25, 2014 at 15:58 | comment | added | Morwenn | Who cares? Many people from what I can see. | |
