alt Hacker NewsI don't know about many people, but the author for sure doesn't understand the primary purpose of code review.
If the primary purpose of code review is to assess maintainability, there is no need for review, that can be done by automated tooling (formatting, bad naming, cyclomatic complexity etc.)

What's the worth of this comment if you've decided to keep this purpose a secret?
The second sentence is just nonsense. There are no automated maintainability devices (quite yet.) You seem to be literally declaring that linting is the only worry that any software project would have when it comes to maintainability. Everybody is linting, the conversation begins after that.
