I listen to this pretty often. I hope you'll get Nicholas more often.
I hope he'll share more about his personal life especially with the disease and struggles he has.
I am in a kinda similar situation as he is but (I hope) not as tragic

I'm so thankful for the stylistic formatting plug-in and how flexible the rules are. When you can't stand some of the formatting choices Prettier forces on you, ESLint is there to help.

This was a really cool episode! It was great to learn about why typescript-eslint is not in the core and more about Nicholas as a person :)

I really need a pluggable formatter. Can you recommend one now that eslint is not doing this?

[Danielo]

It's really easy to be fast and performant when you don't need to support 4+ years of legacy plug-ins. Let's see where they are in 4 years from now
