view.findViewById<AppCompatTextView>(
    R.id.strike_price
)?.let {
    it.text = price.toString()
}

Would you nit this, or request changes?
1️⃣ nit
2️⃣ request changes, unnecessary use of let

[spand]

I detest these

method {
   singleLine
}.somethingElse {
    againSingleLine
}

I much prefer:

view
    .findViewById<AppCompatTextView>(R.id.strike_price)
    ?.text = price.toString()

[Nick]

agreed, would would you nit it or request changes

[Nir]

My guess is that maybe they didn't understand that you can do it?.text = ...

Depends on if the view is always present or not

[Irving Rivas]

I would request a change — specially since it’s a textview you’re getting; fat chance of putting more stuff in the let block later. Since it’s very cut and dry — it’s literally an unnecessary code block — it’s best not to allow the codebase to get littered by these.

[Irving Rivas]

now, on the other hand, I’d look at the context in the code; the customs of the codebase make it easier to scan, and they should be respected. If there are many similar snippets all over, either open a ticket for those to be brought in line with “don’t use let”, or for everything to go to the “possibly unnecessary let” style
