State of static analysis and linting tools #103

Closed encoreuser closed 9 years ago

encoreuser commented 9 years ago

When balancing features with their inevitable technical debt, knowing where to strike the balance is hard. I have spend the last 6 months talking with developers and startup founders about the ways they manage and keep this in check (or not as some openly admit). Measuring and improving your code with a few key (open source) linting tools will make you a better developer and can also help catch some embarrassing security flaws before letting them out into the wild. I can share my experiences with these tools and walk through a few that are really good for rails development. I suspect new developers will like the exposure and the experienced ones probably wouldn't mind a refresher. If time permits, I can also talk to other languages as I have had to learn how to run far too many of them (jshint, pylint, ReSharper, PMD, OCLint, PHP CodeSniffer, etc).
