Should it be better that we keep the same writing style as afterwards Buffer#write
and use Buffer#from
here ?

Buffer#write
is used as a shortcut for Buffer.prototype.write
, so it’s something you can call on a Buffer
instance. Buffer.from()
however needs to be called on the global Buffer
object (just as it is written). So, no, it is correct to leave these as they are.
