> code quality is not the same thing as code style.

I did misparaphrase you. My apologies for that. Fixed.

But as for the other argument, I think the comic's examples and your case represent feedback loops in which two factors are both cause and consequence of each other.

I believe you that you started not caring about code style after you noticed your code tends not to last. Similarly, life was short already before bacon existed. Would you agree that your code is more likely to dissapper now that you don't care about style?

No, I don't think it matters. Obviously there's a line you have to draw, like tabs vs spaces, but I don't care if you place your commas differently from me. Code being so ugly it's hard to read is a problem, but arbitrary fashion is not worth the time.
