Never had anything like that though for four years my life revolved around getting PMD, checkstyle and Sonar rules to pass so my pull request would merge.

Why You Need Static Code Analysis
Another example can be applied to code quality itself. Most static analyzers are configurable. If you tried to set Checkstyle Google configuration to the mature project, you would probably get hundreds or even thousands of errors. You can start with just one rule. Ar first glance, it seems not so important. But after the moment when the configuration reaches the repository, you can be sure that no one else can violate this rule in the future.

I want to set some standards and practices around the development process at my company. Just looking for any tips. Has anyone done this before? Is there any reference material you might suggest?
On the coding standards side, use linters like https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle and https://github.com/eslint/eslint so you have an automated way to detect some errors and enforce style standards.
