The new warnings also tend to be increasingly asinine, and I remember an instance where two warnings happened to be in direct contradiction to each other, making it impossible to satisfy them both without some extensive and absolutely useless rewriting of the code.

I think one was about superfluous parentheses, and the other about not parenthesising an expression because it assumed the programmer would be too stupid to know the precedence of operators.

Rubocop is so bad about this. I can't believe people still use it. I spent 2 hours refactoring perfectly legal code to satisfy a code review and then found the suppress warnings invocation and ended up shipping that.
