⚬ PROBLEM:
When working on collaborative codebases, developers often face inconsistencies in coding style and format. This can lead to unnecessary code review comments and difficulty maintaining a uniform code style.

⚬ SOLUTION:
Add configuration files for ESLint and Prettier to enforce consistent code quality and style across the project. Use the ESLint rules from the create-t3-app stack as a base, as they are well-optimized for modern TypeScript/JavaScript projects and include sensible defaults for strict linting and formatting.

⚬ ALTERNATIVES:

1. Use only Prettier without ESLint for formatting, but it won't cover linting issues.
2. Use a different linter like JSHint, but it lacks the community support and features of ESLint.
3. Create custom ESLint rules from scratch, but aligning with best practices may take more effort.

⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
This would benefit nearly all developers working in JavaScript/TypeScript projects as consistent code style is a universal need. The create-t3-app rules are particularly relevant for projects using TypeScript.

⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
Some developers might need to update their local environment to align with the configured rules. Existing code might require reformatting to meet the enforced style, causing a one-time disruption.

⚬ CONTEXT:
Adding ESLint and Prettier configurations, specifically leveraging the create-t3-app rules, ensures that every contributor adheres to a unified coding standard. These rules provide strict but practical guidelines, improving collaboration, maintainability, and code quality.
