Rational thinking

Read Original

The article examines a common coding style debate: whether to use fully qualified class names (FQCNs) in doc blocks. The author notes that many developers use FQCNs in doc blocks to avoid scrolling to imports, but not in real type hints, highlighting an inconsistency. It questions how rational programmers' opinions truly are, suggesting many habits are emotion-driven rather than logically defended. The piece reflects on broader programming debates and the nature of rational thinking in software development.
