Linting
Also written as ESLint, Prettier, Static Analysis
Automatically scanning code for style issues, common mistakes, and potential bugs before it's even run, usually enforced in CI so bad patterns can't get merged.
Think of it like
Like a spell-checker that flags typos and grammar mistakes in a document before it's sent out, rather than a reader catching them after the fact.
Junior or senior?

Ask them
“Was linting actually enforced in your CI pipeline, or was it more of a suggestion people ignored?”
