Heh, I don't fit the pattern very well.  I am known to be grumpy.  But my agnosticism is much too broad for me to engage in code rage.  I sometimes cut-n-paste.  I sometimes put the curly brace on the same line or the line after.  I sometimes use library widgets and sometimes roll my own.  Patterns are phantastmagoric pareidolia.  I'm incapable of playing code cop ... not because I don't care, but because it's all about context to me ... whatever gets you through to a _working_ pile of @#%!$ is fine by me.  I think this is because I was reared as a simulant.  At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what's _inside_.  What goes in or out is all that matters ... maybe I'm a behaviorist ... the holographic principle gone awry.

But I will defend those spittle spewing morlocks to the death, perhaps because of my inability to play their role.
