Deep dives

Managing ESLint Errors

Dealing with a substantial number of ESLint errors can be quite challenging for developers. One listener raised the concern of having over 8,300 undetected errors in their repo, particularly due to the lack of React hook rules. The importance of tackling these errors lies in maintaining code quality and reliability, which can significantly impact team productivity. Suggested solutions include gradually fixing the errors while assessing which can be automatically corrected, rather than disabling the rules, as this can lead to ignoring more critical issues in the long run.
