> The linters teach what to do, but not why

Ruff specifically actually has a web page for every single check with a section on the rationale behind it.

I regularly use this when I see an error that I don't understand the purpose of, and am often convinced, though sometimes I recognize that the thing it's trying to protect me from doesn't apply in my particular case and so I disable it. Regardless. I feel it has had the effect of making me a better developer.
