Fallacy: Poisoning the well. Airbnb’s other business is irrelevant to their style guide. 2. Bullshit. I have been Airbnb-ing from Lombardia (Italy) to Scotland (UK) in recent years and have not heard a single complaint from my hosts about the business model (most of them are friends now). > They have their own style-guide; good for them and irrelevant to anyone > else unless they plan on interop with external developers. It is used by more than one company, including one (or two?) for which I have worked recently. > Most of it looks to be obvious, but many seem to be redundant if they used > modern JavaScript with Babel or the like and an autofixing linter. It turns out that autofixing code is a Really Bad Idea[tm], and Babel is irrelevant in that regard. In fact, there are incompatibilities that Babel cannot (could not/is not going to) fix, e. g. for-of loops (some of us still had/have to consider IE). > Most of the rest seem to be idiosyncrasies. I found it necessary to change some of their ESLint rules in my ESLint configuration, but on the whole their Style Guide made a lot of sense (in particular as I was working with people who were not that into code consistency as I am). Some rules are also only recommendations or do not advocate strictly for one style. > This is just dumb: > > "Do not use JavaScript getters/setters as they cause unexpected side > effects..."
