Re: [Codenarc-user] success stories?

[Marcin E. <mar...@pr...>]

Hi Philip,

I'm a big fan of CodeNarc and use it where I can. Unfortunately I do not
have any success stories but a generic observation that over the years I've
encountered a lot of resistance from others when trying to add CodeNarc to
projects. Maybe you need to have a certain level of OCD in you to
appreciate how good it is at keeping the codebase consistent (for me that
characteristic of CodeNarc is even more important that helping to spot
bugs).

Anyhow, good luck with your talk. I'd appreciate you sharing a link if a
recording of it is made public. :)

Marcin
