| Can I trust code I’ve written myself with no guarantees from the language? Maybe. Can I trust code written by dozens of other developers (and/or agents) working on the same project over multiple years? Definitely not. |

| Why don't you have any coding standards? If you're working with agents in particular, catching and enforcing this stuff should be easier than ever. |

It seems like you're misunderstanding the nature of working on a codebase as an IC when other developers contribute to it. If all of my coworkers don't want a lint rule I propose, I don't get to add it. If all of my other coworkers want to write code in a certain way and approve each other's MRs with code written in that way, I don't get to veto it. | | |

| Null Analysis can be checked and enforced by the CI. |
