i have a recent diff where 300 changes are just things like moving whitespace
still fuck you for that mess
I have vim setup to trim trailing white space, I get so pissed when a small change results in a 300 line diff because of poor code hygiene.
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.
