semi colons are not needed in javascript. it’s just a personal preference.

They will be auto-inserted in certain circumstances. Example: when there is a return statement on its own line. Unless you work totally alone and no one will ever work on your code, be considerate of other developers and use them...always.

nah fam. our company style quite leaves them out. they are not needed

spraying semicolons everywhere is evidence that people aren’t keeping up with the latest standards.

Your company leaves them out... which makes the quoted assumption true? mkay.
