>why is formating important?
because we spend more time reading other people's code than writing our own code

linter as in, it removes hair, dust, grime and detritus...or something like that.
It's really annoying to see yellow and red squiggles in a codebase you're working on (used for WARNINGS and ERRORS), even if they don't prevent the program from working

linters add squiggles to your code. it's a low priority task to get rid of those yellow squiggles but still worth doing for the sake of consistency in the use of conventions..it saves mental energy for the next person who will read the code, even if that person is yourself in the future
