Comment on The Insufferable Arrogance of Linters

Comments

consistency?

IMO, this is biggest reason to use linters. I don’t really mind what the “standard” is, as long as everyone is using the same one.

Yes, consistently formatted code tends to be easier to read and tends to help teams be (slightly) more efficient.

It's helping me a lot searching for, say, "thing" versus 'thing' or url vs URL.

I don't mind whether the coding style is ¿question? or simply question?, but I don't want to see both in the same file.

I think that seals it, no?
