ESLint is a Productivity Killer

I'm flying solo on a web app project, using nextjs supabase.

Eslint? Yeah, it's always giving me headaches. A lot of headache. I've been spending 30 to 60 minutes every day for the last week just trying to troubleshoot the problems it brings up and keeping it happy.

Now, I'm questioning whether Eslint is even worth keeping. Maybe I should just ditch it from my project and save myself the hassle.

Well, you need to adapt the Eslint config to your liking ;)

I like how some linter have levels. Like Perl Critic or PHPStan. https://phpstan.org/user-guide/rule-levels I never use the highest levels. With Eslint I stick to the Airbnb defaults (https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-config-airbnb)
