Your comment made me wonder, could tools like prettier be the first step towards developer-customized code styles?

See it as views. Code could be stored in a minified (spaces and new lines are not necessarily saved), and then every developer in the team can view the code in any style he chooses. His code would then be committed using the underlying "minified" format, so that the next developer can pick up that code and view it in his own code style.

Does that even make sense? What could be the gotchas of such a thing?
