How can you say it has "nothing to do with software engineering" with a straight face?

I think you might be in serious denial.

Of course writing code isn't the only task of a software engineer, but it's an important one.

There wouldn't be so much controversy if it wasn't the case

The hard part of software engineering is turning a vague problem description into a set of box-ticking exercises. If ticking boxes became genuinely easier, the software engineering part is now a lot more valuable.

No fixing the mess definitely does not take longer than writing it oneself.

Your linter should identify all issues - including architectural and stylistic choices - and the AI agents will immediately repair them.

It's about 1000x faster than a human code at repairing its own mess.

If a linter could deterministically identify bad architecture, you wouldn't need an LLM, your linters could just write your code for you. The vibe coding takes are just getting more and more empty-headed...

a) that's not what a linter is built for, its a tool with very specific role

b) You must've never seen LLM expose secrets in plain text or use the most convoluted scenarios you can think of.

I think you missed the point of the person you are replying to.
