Good faith question - How is the PHP linter valuable for you?

[fredericgboutin-yapla]

Hi, Please bear with me for a moment, I'm really just asking a question seriously.

Since I've bootstrapped this component in our CI several months ago, we never ever got any errors or warnings. NEVER.

I mean, I have not a single recall of a moment where the CI flagged a linter issue with the code. And we are talking about multiple repos, some relatively big, several hundred thousands of LoCs, a team of devs pushing new code daily.

How do you guys / girls use this linter in a valuable way? I know this component is basically just a wrapper around php -l - see https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.options.php - but still.

Am I missing something or you basically experience more or less the same thing?

Thanks!
