Linting is important: screen included

Today I was reviewing a pull request for some Python code when I saw a semicolon in the diff. Screenshot provided below, which as we all know is the best way to share text on the internet:

Picture of code with a semicolon (;)

I was just about to leave a comment, but then I scrolled the page a bit and...

Same picture of code, but the dot on top of the semicolon has shifted away revealing it is only a piece of dirt on the screen above a comma (,)

Ah. Time to clean my laptop screen then... 🧼🫧

Hope you are having a lovely week. :) Figured I’d take the chance to mention that my blogroll has been updated with many new articles, check it out: https://sethmlarson.dev/blogroll
