@nolan@toot.cafe At sequential jobs, I would send a PR, receive a "nit: formatting" response, fix it, and never get my code rereviewed and merged. When I suggested we add an autoformatter to the git hooks, I got various responses to the tune of 'don't waste too much time on that', but man, the projects I shipped involved rewriting so much old code, wasting time polishing new code feels silly. The llms provide a layer of abstraction, I suppose, where everybody *knows* it's not worth time to polish.

    @Cheff@mastodon.gamedev.place Formatting nits are indeed silly, and I'm happy for tools like prettier and eslint to catch that. I think what's being called into question these days is even higher levels of polishing – DRY, KISS, separation of concerns, etc.
