I find this[^] to be somewhat therapeutic! :)

Oh, yes, but I include that as part of Linq -- given that it was only added to support Linq's/Lambda's anonymous types.

I use (our team uses) var, where applicable. Nothing wrong with it, unless you are using notepad to edit your code. :)

no. I did say "where applicable". We use var on list returns and some lamda/linq stuff, but not everywhere. Edit: I have never run into an issue with "var". Visual Studio lets me know what the type is, if I need to know it.

To obfuscate variable type ;P

Ok good.

Well that's the thing. There's a school of thought that it is applicable any time it is allowed.

I use ReSharper a lot, and it will ask you everytime it can to use implicit type declaration. So, I can see why some devs out there may think that it is good for everything. However, I have debugged code files that have had "var" all over the place, and it has not been an issue. If for some reason, I cannot tell the type, then hovering over "var" will tell you.

Try doing a code review in Crucible where someone's abused var and then see how you feel about that. ;)

Dunno, money? But seriously, it's the most boring part.

I am. Why the hell not? It's more aesthetically pleasing and in most cases it does not reduce readability (for me, for you - don't care). I haven't use it much in C# before C++11 assigned new meaning to
auto. Then I started replacing crap like thisstd::unordered_map<std::string, boring_class>::const_iteratorwithautoand then moved the habit to C#. -

Irrelevent. Try reading newbie code posted in QA.

Voice control is always an option. I know devs who'd happily use it very loudly when inputting code that they (erroneously) believe to be genius, and only use the keyboard to input their dirty hacks. I'd say that there's a possible connection between those guys and your guys.

Thank you, I needed a good chuckle this morning. I do enjoy your rants, they align with my thinking rather nicely.

To the lowest common, and therefore the least efficient, method possible. And it's unreadable.

I always try and reduce the amount of code I type. I live by Intellisense and code snippets, or ReSharper's Live Templates, but, I am not scared of typing out long and meaningful member names to start with. That is, I loath contractions and acronyms in code.
