@channingwalton @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack so idiomatic code is groupthink for doing things very stupidly. I was right first time!

@dibblego @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack yes, but if something is applied thoughtfully and happens to be an idiom, that’s ok surely?

@channingwalton @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack I don't know is it? I still don't know what it means and neither does anyone else.

@dibblego @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack quite often it’s ‘the acceptable way to fail’. ‘We did all the right things, can’t fault us.'

@channingwalton @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack special pleading. I was right at the start innit?

@dibblego @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack yes, it’s not a useful concept and gets in the way.

@channingwalton @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack so worse than useless then?

@dibblego @jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack yes I think so.
