I'm not blind, but I have a blind PhD student.

One useful thing seems to be using an auto code formatter and requiring the code is always autoformatted. Manually ensuring indentation is right is very awkward, just running clang-format, or whatever, is simple.

I think this is my favorite trend in programming languages. It seemed controversial when Go shipped with a canonical auto-formatter, but now I consider it table stakes.
