I'm the author of the blog.

I agree. I don't perse hate linters, too. I used a combination of them and love getting nits done.

At some places, we even had a pre-commit hook configured to have linters completed, so that was fun.

Lint rules should evolve over a period of time for teams to get better or as the project gets better, in my opinion. And I think there is no such process at many teams today.
