Has anyone noticed that when you get a vscode update, the release notes never call out the bugs that were fixed.
<snark>I bet it's because the list is so large that it would cause the release notes file to be larger than the max possible size...</snark>
<moresnark>How do they exppect us to be able to reliably develop our own buggy code if the tools they provide us are so buggy?</moresnark>

Still better than the vast majority of "app store"-type release notes, which are invariably some variation of:
Release Notes: Bug fixes and performance improvements.
Sometimes with slightly more embellishment, but it usually translates to the same meaningless BS.

Or so short, because they didn't fix a damn thing.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

No need when you can just enhance over them.
User: "Microsoft, have you fixed the xyz bug?"
MS: "Did you see the list of 300 enhancements including new fonts and icons?"
User: "Oh, look at all the shiny."

Do you find yourself in a PR battle where you discuss if you should use const or const ref, or otherwise discuss why you use using to reduce the name of certain types, I can get so frustrated sometimes when I develop a feature or new code, I have it tested and all work and then you have this colleague who wants everything to be how he or she is seeing it and in the end it doesnβt matter as you spent more time discussing or changing it for their joy, code wise it would end up as the same code for the compiler.

The best possible code review result. No reason to worry.

That's one of the reasons I don't miss working on dev teams.

What I can say for sure is a concise code is much more readable and that's why if there are several references made to get to a certain type then it's good to use usings.
If I had a dev who wasn't convinced with this reason alone, I'd do it myself.

My code may not be concise in the same way yours is.

It's not about what it looks like to the compiler - it's about what it looks like to the *team*.
The cure is to establish reasonably rigid coding standards, and make sure everyone adheres to them.

I strongly believe that it should be less rigid and more flexible and who donβt want to have a const signature if you are not changing the value, I feel the itβs more due to the fact of junior developers fresh out of school believing we are building a kernel or cathedral if you wish.

Either you have coding guidelines or you do not.
We have guidelines, they dates from the 80s and 90s (seriously).
The mantra has been don't change anything. (even crazy bad tab/spaces everywhere)
But...
When I go in a file to do work in it, I clean it up and bring it to more modern best practices as much as the underlying code allows me to do.
I wish I could go deeper, but time and money are not infinite.
