I’ve also been tinkering around with AI-Coding assistants, having fun and learning many of the missing steps from my career. As someone who loved to write codes that are well formatted, well named, and well organized, the one thing I hate about AI-Coding is the fomattinig mess. So, the first thing I do now is to set `.editorconfig`[1] and add an instruction as part of the process to respect it.

btw, it still ignores it at times.

Of course, long back, these are also the first things I did so the team can reduce fights and let them choose their own tab-to-space preferences. The other thing was to set up `.gitattributes`[2] early on, specially for those on Windows, to commit the correct attribution when pushing to git.
