Sometimes I review code and find some nitpicking issues like trailing white spaces, and missing new lines at the end of files, and they annoy me. I feel this is something that automatic tools should catch, but regardless of whether I should comment that on PR or not, I’d like to elaborate on why it bothers me.

This was a long time ago, circa 2014, I was working on a distributed system. This system was in charge of scanning and monitoring ERP servers, and its architecture was comprised of a main server (a web service), and several sensors which were other agents (in charge of the specific scanning and monitoring). These sensors reported the results back to the main server which contained all the data to display to the users.
