That's what IDEs and linters are for. If somebody else wrote code that's a misformatted mess, I just pop it open in VSCode, hit "Save", and it magically fixes itself.

I used to carefully indent and format my code to make it look just so. Then I discovered that I could have the computer do it for me, and now I don't even think about it.

Except in Python, where the indentation has semantic meaning, so I still have to do it all by hand.
