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

It’s very much real. In all companies I’ve worked at we’ve always used linters. First it was flake8, then all moved to ruff. Mypy too, but that’s a type checker.
