alt Hacker NewsI feel linters are not that useful now, AI tend to not do that mistakes already. However there are some other issues like how do you architect, if a helper is needed or not, that no linter can flag. Other AI review tools are doing great imo to improve what is already amazing about coding agent.
Imo this is a problematic way of thinking.
I've been doing a lot of devops lately, writing tons of templates, configs, scripts in like 3 programming languages, wrestling with 'cloud-based' constructs - with LLMs ofc.
LLMs make all this work easy, otherwise it'd be borderline impossible.
It's all BS. Hosting a CRUD app should be an executable for the server (written in boring lang/lib of my choice) + an SQLite db. Of course it's a bit more than that, but not by much.
There are wonderful IDEs and tools out there which help humans do the task, and good design keeps the complexity under control.
LLMs on the other hand both are sources of the mess and solutions to it. Without good tooling you'll be much more inclined to reach for an LLM.
