      personally, no i don’t. perhaps it’s because i skim a lot of code and im just used to it? i’m not sure, but honest truth i find capitals mostly redundant. perhaps useful to add context (names, acronyms, etc)… i add them for uncommon acronyms, but common things that people know i tend to skip too

      you can say it’s lazy, and i’ll absolutely take that: it’s totally lazy… but there’s no weird effort or external image decision involved in it?

        It’s just an extra convention to help communication. But I don’t buy your lazy argument because:-

        • it is often performed automatically

        and

        • you take the time and effort to enhance your communications with punctuation and paragraphs.

          Both of the reasons you’ve provided are nonsensical:

          • It isn’t performed automatically if you disable it, and they did (and explained why)
          • They said they don’t believe capitalization aids with clarity. They didn’t express the same opinion about punctuation and paragraph breaks.

            It is irrelevant that they don’t believe capitalization aids with clarity.

            Communication is about what other people prefer, not what you personally like. And they obviously do want to communicate well
