The circular reasoning I got after proposing to use a code formatter:

  • Why are you nitpicking on PRs? Let's use a linter instead
  • Yes we already have a linter for compliance sake
  • Oh it's turned off though. I don't like it.
  • No we can't use it actually, it's a third party one and it's not compliant.
  • We can't use the first party one. It's not extensive enough.
  • No we shouldn't extend it with our own custom rules. It's too much maintenance.
  • I refuse to use any IDE formatting shortcuts or plugins, and will commit my code as I feel. The problem is not how I write my code.
  • Why are you still discussing this? Didn't you figure out how to use a linter yet?

We're still at square one with this after a year or so
