I almost turned this off when you dove into a { style discussion around 6min in.
Just like you have strong opinion about the placement of that {, I have strong opinion about devs who have strong opinions about style. IMO, if you care that much about style, you aren’t a very great dev.

To be honest it doesn’t *really* matter so long as it’s consistent throughout a project and company. It’s just a fun pet peeve to have and it’s fun to talk about because it’s so nit picky. =)
Have you guys ever used a vector clock algorithm for partial ordering of messages? I usually use explicit prerequisites, but this algorithm seems to address concerns over message bloat. If the number of nodes is bounded, this algorithm really makes sense.
