Agreed. In my team I am known for being extremely meticulous about this, and some people don’t like it. If I see one or two typos or spacing issues, I understand that’s an honest mistake. But if I see typos, spacing issues, bad indentation, bad naming, etc. all over your diff, I can’t help but think you’re sloppy. If you don’t care about the little things like properly formatted code, I have a hard time believing you care about the big things like error checking and proper test coverage.
