Every time I have to click twice instead of once during my once every ~3 years VSCode setup process, I think to myself "If only I could replace Prettier and ESLint with one tool, I could save about 5 minutes during my lifetime."
- andrewmcwatters 1y agoWhat's so cool is that everyone and their mother is trying to consolidate these tools to save those 5 minutes so that every year I can be advertised to by people like the folks behind Babel, et al, so that I can waste hours of my time moving projects over to something new.
- james2doyle 1y agoRunning the tool is easy. Installing, configuring, and keeping it updated? Well, those tasks have taken up many lifetimes. Replacing prettier and eslint in my projects will typically remove about 5 dependencies. Sometimes up to 10 if you have a lot of specific plugins. Another amazing benefit is that because Biome is a compiled binary, it can run _without npm install_ which means you can use it in your CI for linting before running any expensive build steps. Those things save me time.
