Coding Standards

What you need, we will annoy you to get it. Coding standards are very important in Coding. The standards can be a bit annoying but it helps with the organization and readability of your code. In programming, most of the time, you will not be the only one working on the same tasks. You will have to update or fix an already existing code. Codes need to be readable and organized so that they can be easily read and the purpose of the code can be figured out. This allows others to maintain and update the code with ease.

I do believe that coding standards help get you started to become more proficient with your art of coding. It guides you to be more organized and understandable. The coding standards help you figure out how to mold your own style of programming by enforcing the basics and nitpicking what you can do better so you get used to them. So, I do agree that coding standards help us learn programming languages by enforcing the basics.

ESLint

So far, ESLint has been very nitpicky, especially the spacings. I really like the tab spacing because it makes sense, you only need to click once, however, ESLint chose to have two spaces, so you have to undo the tab space and then click the space bar twice every time. I also don’t like how you have to delete every space that doesn’t have anything. So if you click space on an empty row, it gives you an ESlint error, and have to delete that ‘empty’ space. So, ESLint has been very annoying with errors that don’t really affect the organizing and readability of the code.
