If AI is writing and fixing all code, does linting even matter?

[akshay326]

LLMs try to cheat. all sorts of evasive ways or smart tricks in some cases to avoid working on context-heavy tasks. i've constantly observed if left unchecked it tries to loosen the lint settings

Linting is a good guardrail for real code problems the LLM catches poorly.

LLM performance increases with non-LLM guardrails.

true both - i've observed i end up spending more tokens + time with linting, than without
