Did you format the code? Is this really a thing in 2023?

In the case you're serious: yes, we've had issues with developers changing code inside of GitHub and then committing, which obviously increases nose in future diffs that are done with a formatter installed. We fixed this by enforcing a formatter at the CI level.

In the case you're wondering if formatting code is important: it's a hill I'm willing to die on. It costs nothing but it removes an insane amount of discussion and noise when doing reviews.
