When to NOT use static code analysis tools?
There are many posts about the benefits of static code analysis tools. However, in which scenarios would you recommend NOT using (or significantly limit) them? For example, do you also run them on tests? I use mypy and pylint and usually find them very helpful. However, in a few cases I spent more time working around the linter than on the actual feature or bugfix. For example, the attrs package often yields False Positives in mypy and pylint, in particular when attrs is extended. Thus, I do sometimes ask myself whether the disadvantages outweigh the benefits and would be curious to hear your experience.
