Code Analyzer Lore

Code Analyzer Lore
First frame: Raging at a linter suggestion to replace new String().getClass() with String.class because "nobody writes code like this." Second frame: Complete attitude reversal after hearing why the rule exists, suddenly claiming to have "seen such things 11 times, as a matter of fact." The duality of developers: loudly rejecting best practices until the moment they realize they've been writing garbage code their entire career. Then suddenly they were the code quality champion all along! The mental gymnastics deserve an Olympic gold medal.

Everytime When I Use ESLint

Everytime When I Use ESLint
That magical moment when you run ESLint hoping to fix your code, only to discover it's playing multiplayer instead of single-player mode. You start with 10 errors, hit that glorious "Fix All" button with the confidence of someone who's never been betrayed by technology, and suddenly you're the proud owner of 20 errors. It's like watching your technical debt compound interest in real-time. Six years of professional development experience and I still fall for this every damn time. The only thing more reliable than ESLint breaking your code is your PM asking "how hard could it be to add this small feature?"

The Art Of "Fixing" Lint Errors

The Art Of "Fixing" Lint Errors
The eternal shortcut of the desperate developer. You're asked to fix lint errors in a merge request, but instead of actually fixing the underlying code issues, you just slap an eslint-disable-next-line comment and call it a day. It's like putting a piece of tape over your check engine light and considering the car "fixed." Sure, the PR will pass now, but we all know what you did... and we've all done it too when deadlines loom. Technical debt? That's a problem for future you!

Which Lint Rules

Which Lint Rules
Two wizards plotting the downfall of developer sanity! Nothing says "I wield ultimate power" like enforcing tabs over spaces or requiring semicolons after every statement. These lint lords stand atop their mountain, gazing upon the kingdom of code they're about to throw into chaos with their arcane proclamations. The dark wizard is definitely pushing for "no-unused-vars" while his companion is advocating for "max-line-length: 80". Together they're crafting the perfect ESLint config that will make the entire engineering team contemplate career changes. Pure evil has never been so perfectly indented.
