I had a frustrating moment the other day where a colleague said that
float(5)
was more explicit and personally preferred in Python than a literal
5.0
I realised I was being pedantic but I genuinely believed in "good craftsmanship" when I really pushed him to change it.
I need to get better at this because the social friction I caused may cost more than the poor craftsmanship. But the other part of me is thinking, "c'mon man... Seriously?"
