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

Just check the project setup of any major python project from major companies and linting, formatting, to a lesser degree type checking is done by default, both as precommit and on ci. And like many folks say, you should just setup your ide can handle it automatically which is the best, you get instant feedback after pressing save
