Explore a comprehensive conference talk on tackling code quality challenges at scale through the implementation of lint rules. Learn about the benefits of automated linting and Prettier, understand the importance of expanding the "well-lit path" in coding practices, and discover strategies for managing code quality in large-scale projects. Delve into the process of limiting lint failures, including the use of incentives and tooling for engineers. Gain insights on implementing a "Road to Zero Lint Failures" initiative, featuring techniques such as single file ownership, lint failure visualization, and weekly scorecards. Examine the journey towards sustainability in code quality management, and review key results and statistics from a successful lint failure reduction project.
