> even then typos in code aren't such a big deal Maybe it was just me but at my last role, I worked on a piece of software with a typo that stuck out like a sore thumb but the cost was too high to ever fix it (impacted multiple products with independent schedules or were just being milked and had no staffing). I also remember some bike shedding over a person using a British spelling for a word instead of the American. Some times linters are just nice for deciding minutia so people don't argue (see also formatters). However, I fully admit, compared to a lot of other priorities in software, these are minor.
