Agreed, computers are generally way better than humans at catching many style issues. We utilize linters extensively, those enforce many of our style guide rules. However, there are some, such as the example pictured in the article, that aren’t always detectable with a linter. In these cases, we use the style guide as the source of truth to reduce the amount of personal preference that comes into code reviews.
