A solo developer should always write code with the next solo developer in mind. He might be very large and highly psychotic - a few diligent keystrokes today could save several indiscriminate axe-strokes tomorrow.

Psychotic people are statistically less violent than the general population. Just sayin.

Too many violent people who have yet to be captured and categorized as psychotic then. Unless those the majority of psychotics are just eating mushrooms and licking frogs.

You must be confusing psychopathic people with psychotic people. It's the psychopaths that can be violent, not the psychotics.

just my personal opinion but the braces (not brackets) should be used and properly formatted.
if (true == value) {
foo = value;
}
I am also a proponent of constant values on the left side of the condition. This comes from my early days of C/C++ development and wanting the compiler to catch code mistakes like a missing '=' sign.

Braces should be required but I don't like the K&R style. But as the survey said: "one war at a time!"

If you're doing it like this:
if (whatever) {
DoStuff();
DoMoreStuff();
}
if (something) {
DoAThing();
}
you need them even for one liners to preseve visbility and because in javascript the auto semicolon inserter will blow up in your face if you don't.
OTOH if you put the opening brace on its own line
if (whatever)
{
DoStuff();
DoMoreStuff();
}
if (something)
DoAThing();
the normal increased visibility of the opening one makes accidentally assuming a closing one too a lot harder and IMO unneeded.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So that intent is clear. I saw code once that did not have curly braces but the lines below were also indented. So annoying because it looked like all the lines were part of the statement.

my bacon crispy. Usually 3 slices per burger does the trick. Mayo on one roll, spicy brown mustard on the other (or dijon). Lettuce (Iceburg, shredded), swiss cheese or American if melted. White onion chopped. No tomatoes for me, thanks.
Salt and pepper to taste, on the medium rare burger (70% fat on the burger meat) Lean vs Fat: What's The Perfect Ratio For Burgers? – Schweid & Sons – The Very Best Burger[^]
Buns lightly toasted with butter (real not fake).

I know you are a healthy eater.  But, every now an then I have a hankering for some "bad" food, and burgers are at the top of that list.
Doc has me on a low to no red meat diet, so I don't eat burgers as often (or steaks for that matter), but I think that might change for lunch today.

I kid you not: try Tofurkey Italian Sausage[^]. Diced, for example, and it looks and taste perfect in meatless "Roast Pork" Fried Rice.
We're talking about an incredible equivalent to Pepperoni in almost every way - except the ingredients. Best buy is at Trader Joe's if you've one nearby. Also, don't miss their Boatswains Double IPA (8.4%, and smooth). The other items in the family are rather so-so, but this stuff is fine.

"It Depends" - what about "other" or "neither" ?
I prefer
if (condition) {
statement;
}
The opening 'curly bracket' at end of statement and closing 'curly bracket' aligned with the beginning of the statement.
Why Oh Why, Mr. Survey-Taker, do you so often skip the obvious? Reminds me of how political surveys are taken, designed to get the answer they want instead of the actual answer.

That is usually the format for java/javascript. C++, etc. too, perhaps.
However, in all my years of working with C#, I have never worked at a shop that allowed your preferred way for C# coding in particular.

This is exactly how we code where I am employed. Take the default VS install options, and put the leading brace on the first line. Then change the default spaces from 4 to 3. Not sure how those two options became the two changes.

So, you should have voted for 2nd option.

"Neither"? Possibly, although I might have tried to be more positive and voted for "Other", instead.

No, the question was simply if there should be braces or not, not where the braces should go. Your example showed braces so you should vote the 2nd option.

Do you believe everything you read on the internet?
Take some artistic license . . . the compiler/interpreter doesn't care what kind of spacing you use. Don't let one of life's great opportunities pass you by.
