Setting up a place to work with AI
I've mainly had a career of "writing and experimenting with code by myself," so I haven't had much experience with the problem of large diffs caused by differences in formatter values when each person develops in a multi-person project.
- I think I put in a de-facto formatter and fotmatOnSave when I introduced VSCode many years ago, that's about it.
- When I participated in multi-person projects, someone other than myself was often setting up the project.
- But when I started using Devin, it became necessary to do formatter unification even if I was the only human being.

- Decide to use "the same version for everyone", whether it is Black (de facto), Ruff format (fast + lint integrated), etc.
- Place settings in pyproject.toml directly under the project and minimize IDE-dependent settings.
- First, batch format all files once and commit
- If you cut a single format-only commit, only logic changes will appear in diffs in subsequent PRs.
- Aligning the development environment
- Put .vscode/settings.json in the repository and share it (works great if you have many VSCode users).
- If you have other editors, you should also put .editorconfig so that line endings and indentations are aligned.
I didn't know about Black or Ruff. I guess I'm not autopep8 anymore or something.
Ruff is being used in a broadband AI, so I'm hoping it's the same.
How do I know what my VSCode is now?
⌘/Ctrl + Shift + P → Format Document With... Execute
The extension name displayed as "default" in the popup is the tool used for save-time formatting
It was Black!
$ ruff format .
I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
