It's annoying to be the weird one that rewrites all the code on the files I touch because I bothered to press format. Then someone forgets to pull before changing the code and suddenly the merge is not fast forward and the conflict resolution is a mess. It's not that big of a deal, for me a t least, but when i format the code it's 3 other dumbasses that get conflicts, and sometimes I just can't bother enough to fix their issues because I took care of formatting it once.
Nowadays I use an opinionated linter, format my stuff and call it a day.
You don't have an autoformatter in your pre-commit hook? Why not?
I loathe linter errors. If you know that I did it wrong and how, just fix it and stop wasting everyone's time. That's why I'm in favor of opinionated formatters in the per-commit automation. No point in wasting everyone's time and making silly merge conflicts possible.
