This is fine if you're the only person to ever touch this code. But if other people will modify the code you can generally not rely on them following your idea

This is fine if you're the only person to ever touch this code. But if other people will modify the code you can generally not rely on them following your idea of "good habits"; therefore it's sensible to help them not shoot themselves in the foot.

But if other people will modify the code you can generally not rely on them following your idea of "good habits"; Teams of two or more individuals can establish norms with only a little more difficulty than individuals, and can provide accountability to those norms better than an individual.
