Senior colleague wants to remove eslint from a project, it keeps giving him errors when his lines are several hundred characters long 😐

Sounds like he's got no idea of maintainability. Are you sure he's senior?

and what are his arguments when eslint is doing what it's supposed to do?

@heyheni *grunts* *grunts* *grunts*

* not actual grunt js

@ananaszjoe omg he is a clear winner! 😲

@heyheni random incomprehensible grunts from senior > any logical reasoning

* in a shitty organization

Sounds like it's doing the job it was brought in to do!

...unlike the senior developer.

lint away your senior

@ananaszjoe Well he's been doing this for many years... Old habits die hard?

@heyheni I guess he prefers a 100+ character line over one neatly broken up into several lines?

@ananaszjoe aaaaannndd... i gulp at the senior dev that does that... 😨

@heyheni can you lint away the one who hired him though??

* Laugh at his code.
* Change the linter errors for long lines to say "Really?" Or "A budding novelist, I see."
* Write him a 500+ word essay on ticker tape expounding the reasons long lines totally suck to read.
* Refer to him affectionately as "The Rambler."
* Make him a really wide nametag saying "Hello, my name is: The Rambler; I work in development and I like typing a lot."
* Buy him a tshirt with the minified source of his favorite library printed on it.
* Ask him if he finds minified files beautiful.

He might start to get the picture.

@Root All fantastic suggestions 😁 unfortunately I'm still the new in the office and need to make friends.
