Yes. Perhaps you're just skipping over the word "the" when reading that sentence? In the context it has a pretty important meaning, so it pays to read all the words, not just the ones that support your preconception.
I have learned not to make the specific mistakes that the linter used to tell me off for making, so it doesn't tell me off any more. That's a very different thing from "I don't make mistakes", which is what you incorrectly claimed that I said (even with quote marks around it, implying a direct quote!)
And why would one need an excuse for setting their development environment up the way that works best for them?
