Overall I like the list. Some of the bullet points were stated a little more strongly than I was comfortable with.
> People who stress over code style, linting rules, or other minutia are insane weirdos
I feel like programmatically enforced linting is like keeping a shared house clean. Suppose you live in a house with roommates. You wipe off the counters, you clean up after yourself, you put dishes in the dishwasher, so that the house is tidy and pleasant. If there's a lint or style rule that requires judgment and is hard to enforce programmatically, perhaps better left as an occasional PR comment.
Programatically enforced linting also has the benefit of removing degrees of freedom that aren't very important and don't merit getting bogged down about.
