betterer makes it easier to make incremental improvements to your codebase

Project mention: How to Effortlessly Improve a Legacy Codebase Using Robots | /r/RedditEng | 2023-05-01

We first took a shot at addressing this gradually using a tool called Betterer, which works by taking a snapshot of the state of a set of errors, warnings, or undesired regular expressions in the codebase and surfacing changes in pull request diffs. Betterer had served us well in the past, such as when it helped us deprecate the Enzyme testing framework in favor of React testing library. However, because there were so many instances of noImplicitAny errors in the codebase, we found that much like snapshot tests, reviewers had begun to ignore Betterer results and we weren’t in fact getting better at all. Begrudgingly, we removed the rule from our Betterer tests and agreed to find a different way to enforce it. Luckily, this decision took place just in time for Snoosweek (Reddit’s internal hack week) so I was able to invest a few days into adding a new automation step to ensure incremental progress toward adherence to this rule.

This is a great idea, but it would be better if it was directly implemented into our codebase in order to not be against the rules.
