Linting is also trivial for LLMs. I’d argue linting is one of the easiest and best use cases for coding assistants.

This story doesn’t add up.

You'd have to know what a linter is and tell the LLM to set it up though, right? Or just get lucky and have it suggest setting it up/set one up without asking.

The person running the Ai needs to know to set up linting in the first place and have it be applied. It's not a default.

Ive had ai make code that doesn't pass a linter and make code look like hand aligned code.
