3:11 - ESLint / JSHint / Linters in general

• Eslint took over as a flexible solution for code style and quality
• Use plugins and presets to set your rules for different types of project
• Don’t be afraid to tweak rules, they are not the word of god

10:55 - Prettier

• Strictly formatting
• Can work with or without ESLint
• Provides an enforceable standard for teams
• Configurable
• Prettier for CSS, PHP, GraphQL, etc.

18:46 - VS Code

• Red underlines like spellcheck for code
