Ruff: Python linter and code formatter written in Rust

Never said it was a silver bullet. I said I would rather people concentrate on more important things than configuring a linter. Half the time this stuff gives you weird errors that don't make a lot of sense (especially with JavaScript/TypeScript), sometimes you are literally making the compiler warning go away because there is literally nothing wrong with the code.

I do use eslint/prettier btw, but other collegues can never seem to get this working so I've just given up on it and then fix the linter issues whenever I come across them.

Between this and your other comment*, you seem to be simultaneously expecting me to be more and also less literal in how I read your comments.

I expect you to be able to use your brain to distinguish obvious hyperbole (it was absolutely obvious) with a matter of fact statement.

I am starting to suspect that this playing dumb is entirely disingenuous.

You've never met people who take what you now call obvious hyperbole absolutely seriously and literally?

I guess you're going to continue to get surprised by how often you get criticised in this specific way, by many, many other people.

Hint: when someone doesn't understand you, you were in fact not obvious, no matter what you think — communication is a multiplayer game, not a single-player endeavour.
