I'm coming across double spaces after a full stop in comments. Some
consider this an error, others an intentional style that makes the
comment cleaner to read.
Yes, it's a minor point but in the name of consistency and avoiding
future review ping pong on the issue, I'm calling for a vote:

I think two spaces look better so that’s what I’m going to use.

I learned to type on a typewriter (both mechanical and electric) back in
