Who thinks this?
- delecti 8y agoAt first I read this and thought "well nobody probably thinks that exact thought, but lots of people think they help you avoid mistakes". Then I scrolled down and read a comment that said: > A couple of those points could be boiled down to "use a strict linter with most of the rules turned on". Now I'm not so sure.
- munchbunny 8y agoI saw someone else on HN use the word "glib", which I think applies here. It has a kernel of truth and sounds good, but there are very obvious reasons why "it passes the linter" is an insufficient condition for good code.
