if you need to get heavy handed about it, people are probably going to leave. Which may be a good thing, since you shouldn't have to get heavy handed about simple things like styling.

I'm a big fan of strong linting where failure to pass linting will fail the build.

The general reason why I feel that way isn't anything to do with readability but because linting can teach you what NOT to do and make you a better programmer.

Code reviews shouldn't be "move this comma" let linting handle that.

Code reviews can then be more "is what this is doing sensible, are the test cases covering the change, and (possibly most importantly) do I understand how this changes the application"
