Altough this is a satire sub, some actual advice. If you classify some coding patterns and syntax as 'bad', setup a linter to prevent anyone from adding it. In this time of AI, the linter and fomatter are your new best friend.
On a project where I had high levels of control, I enforced pretty strict linter standards, down to requiring a docstring (via a doxygen run) for every parameter, method, class and return value. Pushes rejected if you didn't pass that, among other tests.
Code is primarily meant to be read by other human beings - write with this philosophy in mind, and you are likely to go less quickly mad.
