Switch off pylint or configure pylint way better

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
pylint makes me feel bad. I spend a lot of time fighting pylint over code smells. We've also had issues in the past where pylint gives false positives because we either track a new version of python or other reasons.

Describe the solution you'd like
I was thinking of switching to pycodestyle or taking a deep dive off pylint's documentation to configure it better.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've had lots of dark thoughts alone in the parlor late at night, deep into my third tumbler of whiskey. I discussed alternatives above.

My test with configuring pylint way back in the day left it insanely slow relative to no config, even when config was the same as no config (all defaults). Not sure why, but pycodestlye may be a better option. Would it make sense to just use tox as an executor? Might simplify all the tooling use to a single frontend and allow us to swap things out without devs needing to change anything in their workflow.
