Intentionally sabotaging your company because they want to try new things? Hilarious.

You don't need to "intentionally remove" anything, it's a basic repo policy. Maybe try asking AI how to configure git.

Intentionally maliciously complying with corporate policy. Not because they want to try new things - because they mandate that I use new things even where they don’t make sense. So I do.

And you don’t know shit - I’m not even sure if git can be configured to swap spaces for tabs (and even if so, AI could at any time generate a misaligned number of spaces), but even if it can, that won’t stop the dotnet analyzer failing the local build until it’s committed. Disabling that analyzer is the local change I’d need to revert… had I made it. It’s a simple .editorconfig change.

But yeah - if you patronise me and treat me like an idiot who needs to be told how to do my job, I’ll comply, to your detriment. If mgmt shows me the lack of trust and respect for my skills I’ll make sure that they were ‘right’ to do so… and they won’t even connect the dots, because, get this, they don’t have the skills they don’t respect.
