General concerns with code quality

[sudokoko]

There are some concerns regarding uniformity of code quality throughout the project. This issue will serve as a discussion point for possible solutions and as a tracking point for related PRs.

anyway, what specific concerns do we have with the code quality?

[sudokoko]

Generally, the code quality throughout the project is not uniform and uses a variety of styles. A good first step to resolve this could be to set up a CI linter for pull requests. We could decide on an optimal linter configuration through discussion, as well as maybe fine-tuning our DotSettings file, and have a passing linter be a requirement for PR merge.

I'm assuming what that will effectively do is require certain styles and formats of the code and check for syntax automatically to make sure it's compliant?

Yes, that is what a linter does
