I write perfectly legible code. More legible than a linter infact. Because the rules for what is ideal are not so simple as to be encoded in simple lint rules. Sure it gets like 95%. But the last 5% is so bad it ruins the positives.
If your goal is “code that is easy to read and understand” then a linter is only maybe the first 20%. Lots of well linted code is thoroughly inscrutable.
I 100% believe you. And for god's sake please use linter.
British and American spelling are both 100% legible English. But when multiple people coauthor a book, they should stick to one instead of letting each author use their favorite spelling.
Im sure you write very readable code, but in most companies, there are a bunch of devs who completely rape the codebase with unintelligble bullshit. The linter is the first line of defense against these bozos, unfortunately it must be enforced company wide.
