- bluGill 9y agoWe have a couple linters. They all have a zero false positives policy. We have about 1 suppression per 2 million lines of code because of bugs in the linters we use - every one of the suppression was accepted as a bug by upstream before we suppressed it. I know that there are lots of checks that would be useful that we are missing. However they are not worth looking at because every false positive destroys some trust, and soon they are not trusted even when they are right.
