Fairly uncontroversial list, though I'll die on the hill that Java is usually the worst choice unless you're building on top of existing Java.

People who stress over code style, linting rules, or other minutia remain insane weirdos to me. Focus on more important things.

I agree with this without the linting rules part. Consistency is important and all your code styling should be automated, so set up good linting at the start of a project then it becomes and remains a non issue. Though tbh at an organisation of any remotely big size, there should probably be a company-wide ruleset that already exists.

All that said though, if someone is messing with the rules on a regular basis, I agree they're definitely an insane weirdo.
