Is it weird that I like coding against linters? Like, when I’m done writing, there should be no linter warnings that I haven’t made a conscious decision to keep. On the one hand, that feels like letting the machine tell me what to do. On the other, I’m the one who loaded the linter, I’m saying I want my code nice and clean. I’m just offloading the mental work of remembering all the rules and catching where I break them, of thinking about keeping it clean, and then fixing it when told.
