When you reach that ideal world, let me know. My company has thrown a decade+ and multiple teams at the idea you've described. We still aren't there yet.

Your proposal of relying purely on static analysis is over-idealistic and just not feasible for large, diverse codebases in the real world.

That's where AI comes in.

"Just not feasible" is thought terminating, but regardless, I thought we were talking about ideals? Ideally you want the static analysis to work, not to rely on the non-deterministic bullshitter.
