It's disappointing to see otherwise intelligent people arguing that because AI hasn't done anything truly terrible yet that it never will. This is the same faulty logic used by climate change deniers ever since the 1980s.

I always feel bad for people who spend a ton of time on a pull request that the project doesn’t want. You can avoid wasting a lot of time by first opening an issue describing what you’re thinking of doing to get feedback before you start coding.

Cannot say enough good things about the job @antfu@m.webtoo.ls has done with the ESLint Config Inspector. Just used it to debug an issue I was having in ESLint's own config file. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth going out of your way to do so.
