   - Keep code-changes on a branch as small as possible. This makes it easier for code review. Each branch should be its own independent feature.
   - Regularly rebase your branch against `dev` to make sure you have the latest updates pulled.
 
+### Special Exceptions
+
+- In `src/ScriptEditor/NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts`, there are two specially-formatted go boards with two trailing whitespaces.
+  Make sure your editor does not automatically format those examples.
+  You can look for changes to that part using `git diff` to make sure the whitespaces are still present.
