in my case it is a massive legacy codebase that I don’t actually control
i get very sporadic deliveries of it and I’ve version controlled them into a jank progression
the original is in clearcase with now git on top of it and my version control is in svn
there are very shitty unresolvable reasons for all of this
but this last update was especially bad as one of their new coders is super fucking OCD and rejustifying headers and footers and fucking comments, so whitespace shit in files he is not editing code in otherwise, so that is like 300-500 files not lines
I’m relatively new in my company and I’ve been hired to structurize and modernize the development. Project #1 I’m on, I’ve introduced bleeding edge things like pipelines with building, testing, etc., I’ve introduced renovate bot to keep us up to date, and I’ll introduce linting next.
They will probably kill me, but no way I’ll let them have > 2000 lines of code in one file.
Do ya’ll just not use linters?

Linters won’t necessarily help. You also need a code formatter that screams at you if you intent badly.

Linters aren’t MVP my dude
