> automate it

this is such good advice, at least for low hanging fruit where there is already a solid tool for automating it.

by running code formatters such as `go fmt` or python's `black` as a mandatory lint stage in CI (or git pre-commit hooks or whatever) you never have to argue about code style again. everyone can be equally annoyed by the style spat out by the formatter, and spend their energy arguing about something else.
