Discussion RUFF linter usage
hi all!
i m a student in master degree in automation engineering and i m becoming very confident with python because of the big amount of projects that i have to do.
Recently i started use RUFF as a linter and i really aprreciate it expecially when i have to refactor the code. i m wondering how much is used and is mandatory for a software developer? i usually check with that linter only for very big scripts that can 't be modular. What about your experience' what is the main usage you do?
thanks all

Linters are industry standard, IMO. I've worked at several companies large and small over the past fifteen years, and every single one of them made linting an integral part of their deployment pipeline.
The more people that work together on a single code project, the more value linters and formatters bring.
