 ## Coding Style
 
-* Comments should provide meaningful insights into the code. Avoid filler comments that simply describe the next step, as they create unnecessary clutter, same goes for docstrings.
-* Prefer comments to clarify surprising behavior and/or relationships between parts of the code rather than explain what the next line of code does.
-* Catching exceptions, prefer using a specific exception type rather than a broad catch-all like `Exception`.
