While it makes a lot of sense for Google, I have no reason to use it if I'm not a Googler (and even then).
Not at all. If I could find three lists:
- common imprecise language used by developers, and how to improve it.
- common grammar errors among developers.
- San Fransisco deep-left political preferences wrt to code documentation.
I would know which two which would be of use to me, and which one I should absolutely ignore.
I personally agree with ~95% of the list, and the other 5% seems too trivial to be worth arguing over. I couldn't care less about the motivation behind the rules (political or otherwise) as long as they don't sacrifice clarity, and I think that's basically true for everything in here.
