Prettier is usually introduced by people with experience in the current codebase and JavaScript but the people that disproportionally benefit from it are newcomers to the codebase. “It reminds me of how Steve Jobs used to wear the same clothes every day because he has a million decisions to make and he didn't want to be bothered to make trivial ones like picking out clothes.“I don't want anybody to nitpick any other person ever again.”.“Having a githook set up has reduced the amount of style issues in PRs that result in broken builds due to ESLint rules or things I have to nit-pick or clean up later.”.“Our top reason was to stop wasting our time debating style nits.”.“Getting tired telling people how to style their product code.”.It's far easier for us all to agree now: just run Prettier, and go with that style.” It was dumb, but it was a weird on-going "great debate" that wasted lots of little back and forth bits.


Prettier takes your code and reprints it from scratch by taking the line length into account.
