as linked in the article, looks like a nightmare. i was hyped that i could recommend something to author friends, but, i can hear it now, "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

oh well, they'll have to pay someone that understands all of that, because i don't.

It's fairly straightforward. Create the source files. Iterate the linter checks until it passes. Finalize.

I'd bet they just spell it out at each step so there's something to point to when they do those final reviews and reject it. "Now go look at step 385 and try again."
