It is a respectable point of view, but I think that automatize some boring tasks to correct inside the code is a good idea because let you work on other more interesting tasks.<p>In fact, most of us use some automatic ways to correct and enrich code with IDEs. Is it also incorrect? In fact, what we are trying to solve are the following situations:<p>a) In a context where there are a lot of developers and you have worked hard into improve the code style and someone else pushed code that again violates your &quot;implicit&quot; code style. Do you need to correct these bad practices over and over again?<p>b) There are some boring tasks that punctually appear like &quot;refactoring&quot; when deprecated methods appear or developers need to upgrade one external library version (eg. one critical bug appears).<p>Anyway, thank you for your opinion :-)
