I’m starting with Code & Commit (2026 goals):

• keep PRs smaller and easier to review
• enforce pre-commit hooks + formatting
• reduce “works on my machine” issues with reproducible envs (Docker + CI checks)

Also, shout-out to the folks who post full context/screenshots — it makes helping so much faster.
