Take warnings seriously

Warnings are not meant to be noise. Fix the issue, report or patch false positives, or disable the specific check. Just don’t let them accumulate.

Warnings that accumulate lose value. If you have 500 warning messages:

  • Valuable feedback can get lost in the noise
  • Dealing with it becomes a daunting task.
  • Broken Window Theory: Allowing warnings to exist, encourages toleration of new warnings to be introduced.
