Having an auto-formatter like Prettier or `go fmt` has been a huge boon and productivity gain for the teams that I've worked with. No longer having code nitpicks on formatting has saved so much time going through reviews, and it really increases the signal to noise ratio on pull request comments too.
Would definitely recommend those for any teams that have a similar teammate as the article author on their team.
Yeah, we mostly do Python and I've really been trying to push the use of black. I don't actually like some of black's formatting choices (OK, it's grown on me) but it's better to have a standard and stick to it.
