    I saw the use of new LinkedList() and realized it was probably me since I’m the only one on the team that likes seems to init empty lists with a LinkedList()

    git annotate proved me right… :)

    Wow, that’s impressive to sense the code smell from one line.

    If I remember right, it was in Kickstart stuff which kinda suggested a few people it likely would have been, but I wasn’t going to dig to find out. :)
