> I don't understand folks who want their tools to fight them.

Been coding professionally for a few decades now and I completely understand and validate this. I also do not understand the drive to want tools that fight them. Our CI is so slow doing IMO unnecessary checks. Code is prettified to look ugly and hard to read because others were too lazy to align text manually and just gave up on nice looking code.

All in the name of “making it easier for the less experienced.” To which I cringe because instead of investing in education and team quality standards we invest in tools to enforce a lowest common denominator in a failed attempt to pretend it increases quality when it just gets in everyones’ way.

I’d rather educate and engender personal quality, aesthetics, and pride in their own work. And if others don’t feel that quality matters then they are not a good fit for my team.
