  • $\begingroup$ Personal bias is very hard to avoid, so I made this community wiki. Feel free to edit, add or even remove! I don't want this to be my list of guidelines. I want to be a small set of guidelines that most people here agree about. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 16:30

    $\begingroup$ Do you think f @ g @ h[x] is better than f@g@h[x] ? I find that adding space makes the code more clear. (or may be because I need new glasses) $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 16:36
  • $\begingroup$ @Nasser I guess people will be split on that one. Personally I almost never use any spaces in notebooks (as the front end controls spacing to make things more readable), but I do use them often when writing plain text. I don't have a strong preference here. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 16:42
  • $\begingroup$ Personally, I think this should be broken into single topics like the pitfalls question. This limits "debate" to a single focused topic, so the parts we agree on become quickly stable. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 17:15
  • $\begingroup$ @rcollyer Okay, go ahead. But I'm starting to think this really isn't a good fit, simply because it is guaranteed to trigger a lot of discussion and debate. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 17:17
