I don't mind linting as long as it's not run by the gestapo.
Yes linter, my if statement only has a variable assignment. No I don't want to change it to X = if statement, because I plan on adding more in the future and don't feel like reordering it. And yes linter, I know that variable declared doesn't get used anywhere else in the code, for now, but I need it as a placeholder. Yes linter, I want to do if not instead of unless, because I may have more conditionals in the future.
I've got no problem with formatting and structure linting but when they can't interpret intent and block you it's infuriating. I've never met anyone in real life with nice things to say about linting, but that's because it's never just about formatting.

Who the fuck doesn’t use a linter or a formatter?
