blog idea: arguments against aligning code

wastes time, doesn't actually accomplish anything
makes merge conflicts more likely to occur, because you have to edit multiple irrelevant lines to keep the indentation
breaks consistency which is nice for grepping (consider searching for 'variablename =')
it's aesthetic - it's not really a deterministic rule to know how to align. and if you do invent deterministic style guide rules for aligning code, that's way too much to ask a contributor to know a bunch of arbitrary rules for doing something that doesn't actually matter.
