The document discusses the importance of code analysis and style guidelines for maintaining consistent and readable code. It provides examples of inconsistencies that can arise without standards and recommends using tools like plone.recipe.codeanalysis to enforce guidelines. Style guides help reduce cognitive load on developers by standardizing formatting and structures.

7. It is not clear which coding style is used for various
shell scripts present in this repository.
Having some clear guidelines, like how many
characters are used for indentation, if then appears in
the same line as if, and such will be helpful to create
consistent code easier to read by humans.

Trailing whitespaces, extra empty lines, different
cases, mixing string quotings, different
indentation, changing parts that are not related to
the code, typos here and there...

24. Cognitive load
Is the load related to the executive control of working memory
(WM). Theories contend that during complex learning activities the
amount of information and interactions that must be processed
simultaneously can either underload or overload the finite amount
of working memory one possesses. All elements must be processed
before meaningful learning can continue.

the Interaction between Information Structures and Cognitive Architecture".)
