as others note, most of this minutia can be automatically enforced. Anything that can be automated is not craft.

Heartily disagree. I have had to fight with others over automated formatting because it obscured intent or clarity. For example (C#) mandating `var`, mandating one and only one line of whitespace between lines of code, mandating the => syntax for single-line functions (instead of
Function(vars) { ... } )
I would say, when to use one or the other of each of those options is very much a craft.

Sadly formatting well written pandas and Polars code cannot be automated but current tooling.
