We should start to systematically improve the code quality with each commit, as well as document the specific chosen standards.

The code base was originally created by very smart students, without the benefit of the decades of experience it normally takes to make these kinds of standards a part of every developer's baseline autopilot.

Therefore, turning off all of the best practises at once would create an unmanageable amount of work. Instead, we will start from very simple things, such as legibility and indentation, which encourage developers to go through the codebase manually, but without an obligation to fix everything at once, as well as the most critical FindBugs categories.
