We're friends here, right?

Truth. I had no idea what linting was before this summer. I found out what it was in the middle of a study jam for my Mobile Web Specialist Nanodegree.

I haven't fully grasped how to put it into practice yet. The concept seems great for sites on a larger scale. So far, I haven't worked a project big enough that would have to benefit from figuring out and installing a linter. I do email development at work (single, static HTML file) and we've mostly moved to a WYSIWYG solution, so no linting needs there.

That said, a linter would be helpful for the console errors I'm getting from the javascript in my ND project files. I've spent way too much time debugging.
