> conventions are hard to enforce This seems to be a thing in the past 5 years or so. I've seen developers refuse to follow the existing coding style simply because there was no lint or prettier rule for it. Like, how fucking hard is it to match the style of the existing code base and not be a dick about it. These are lead and seniors I'm talking about. This is the type of thing junior devs should have learned their first month on the job. I can't even imagine contributing to an open source project in the '90s or early 2000s and not matching the existing code with whatever I'm doing. I don't care if it's tabs or spaces or whatever variation of if-branch nesting you prefer. When I'm working on code that already exists, I leave my ego at the door and try to make the codebase uniform and coherent. Hell, the whole reason prettier exists is because we think we can fix these anti-social developers with technology. And of course that doesn't work, so now you need tailwind or whatever.
