e.g. all indentation is aligned
e.g. standardized commenting styles

If anyone else has to see it then it better look good or be autistically efficient.

Well the only reason you'd want to make it look nice is so that when someone else looks at it, they can understand it. This is common for shit like you leaving a company and then 2 years later they need to alter your code.
It's mildly important. I recommend using really shitty formatting and maybe commenting in Spanish or some shit so that you're not easily replaced.

Relatively important unless you're an asshole.

Trust me, you might think you're cool with whatever dumbass code you wrote, because it's super clever or some shit, but when you go back 3 months later and can't figure out what the fuck you were doing, you're going to be fucked.
