If your function is longer than 10 statements, parts can almost always be extracted into smaller parts. If named correctly, this improves readability significantly

Mandatory pull requests + approvals within a team are a waste of everyone's time.
Big hot take to me; especially in an organization with a large size and code high standard

Having fun when programming should be much more important than having correct or fast code when you're a programmer and should be what we should aim for first.

Don't enforce using the same tech stack on each new project. When customer, domain, environment, requirements etc differ, so might the tool suite, languages, frameworks etc

My crazy take is that there needs to be a interpretative language alternative to Python which uses brackets to define scope and/or things like elif/else/fi/endif/done. Much easier that way in my opinion, and the ";" shouldn't be necessary. I'm used to Python, but if I had another language which can be used to serve similar purpose to Python with those features, I would never code in Python again when it comes up.
Having to code in Julia and G'MIC (Domain-Specific Interpretative language that is arguably the most flexible for raster graphics content creation and editing), they're the closest to there, but they're more suitable for their respective domain than generic ones.
Ruby does that (well you use the keyword "end" instead of a bracket) but it fell out of favor before it got as big as python, to my knowledge, because of worse multithreaded performance in comparison (which I think has been fixed) and a bias towards unix systems over windows
