I agree but optimisation often reveals implementation details helping to understand limits of current tech more. It might not be worth the time but part of engineering is optimisation and another part is deep understanding of tech. It is sometimes worth optimising anyway if you want to take the engineering discipline to the next level within yourself.

I myself didn’t think about not running linters however it makes obvious sense now and gives me the insight about how Claude Code works allowing me to use this insight in related engineering work.
