I don’t hate linters. I hate linters that are a ginormous PITA to install, set up, and configure. I also loathe repos with linters configured that work in one person’s working copy but not another’s because the moon and mercury weren’t correctly aligned at the moment the second working copy was installed.
- aravindputrevu 2y agoI'm the author of the blog. I agree. I don't perse hate linters, too. I used a combination of them and love getting nits done. At some places, we even had a pre-commit hook configured to have linters completed, so that was fun. Lint rules should evolve over a period of time for teams to get better or as the project gets better, in my opinion. And I think there is no such process at many teams today.
