"Coding style should reflect the casual minimalism of expert programmers" used to to bump it up a bit, I guess it had the right activations or whatever, but I haven't bothered as much with this stuff with recent models cause (a) writing "You are a gigachad developer who is a Level 99 Staff Wizard at FAANG" doesn't work any more and (b) More or less they code like what they can see in their context; if you have a shit codebase you're going to get more shit, so theoretically I'd give a baseline coding style in some instructions, but realistically I haven't have enough motivation to bother with the last thingy I was working on.
