Unpopular opinion: ESLint rules should be strict


Unpopular opinion: ESLint rules should be strict.

We expect books to have consistent formatting/patterns. I believe code should be held to the same high standard.

The more consistent a codebase is, the faster it is to read and navigate.
Strict rules require little extra time during development. But consistency pays off each time the code is read/reviewed.

(And yes, I ❤️ prettier too. But I find ESLint remains useful to automate consistency)
