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?

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

    ...unlike the senior developer.

    @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?

    * 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.
