Linting is a powerful tool for maintaining code quality and consistency. But linting goes beyond syntax error checking - it can also help you catch errors in system architecture, enforce best practices, improve code readability, and significantly relieve you of code review workload. In this talk, we will dive into the world of ESLint and explore how to make the most of its potential. We'll cover several techniques for enforcing best practices with custom rules. We'll look at some real-world examples of how linting is used to catch bugs and maintain code quality in large-scale projects. We'll also discuss how to start using linting to improve a legacy project that's already messed up a bit. By the end of this lecture, you'll have the knowledge you need to take your linting fun to the next level and use it to effectively improve the quality of your project.
Technology is not gender-neutral, which can result in a biased perspective and approach to the design and development of products and services. During this session, we will explore how certain words and phrases can be exclusionary or harmful to certain groups of people. We will also discuss how to create a more welcoming environment and provide examples and tips on how to incorporate inclusive language into our daily communication. By doing so, we can gain a better understanding of why it matters and actively work towards creating a more gender-inclusive tech community.
