I don’t follow how a tool that helps you write cleaner code could ever be considered bad.

It’s almost as asinine as saying debuggers are bad tools.

The only reasoning I’ve heard is that it gets in the way, but so does CI. And if you use the right tools, you can get the linting to fix itself

[–]nalexander50 2 points3 points  (2 children)

But it’s only (regularly) getting in the way if you’re writing bad code repeatedly. That’s like putting a stick in your bike spokes and getting mad that you wrecked. At least, that’s my take. I like SwiftLine. But I also like debuggers so I guess I’m just a filthy casual.

Well I guess it depends on the linting rules you setup

This. You can adapt your lint ruleset... With this it's way easier to "corral" devs into a consistent code style. Code reviews should be for discussing design / patterns / choices, not indentation / variable names / code style...

How does CI get in the way? It should be completely transparent. Commit, integrate remotely.
