Most of that is just formatting for clarity. I don't think it has anything to do with skill or showing the mark of a "good" programmer.

A "good" programmer will use every possible thing he can to make up for inconsistencies on the rest of the bot, and also go above and beyond what is expected by creating new features or failsafes in order to increase the output of the bot.
