• Most rules are configured in the strictest way possible with some exceptions
• Some rules are configured as warnings where a possible use case exists or when they are often broken during development
• Strict mode errors are checked for
• Most formatting rules are disabled
  • Some rules still conflict with prettier, notably no-mixed-operators
  • This config is meant to be used with dprint as formatter
