He states in the article that they use LLMs for this purpose and find them extremely useful.

Which can be true without this also being true:

> using these tools interactively

I did read the article. It seems to me they're using LLMs in a prepared manner instead, as mere scanners that produce reports.

He posts about his use of language models a lot on Mastodon[0]. He does lots with language models, but doesn't buy all the way into the hype. I'd say he's one of. most reasonable & balanced voices on the subject of AI use in software today. Happy to use the technology, more than willing to push back on marketing bs.

I see, thanks.

I checked back two weeks worth of posts, reposts, and replies there, and do not see anything suggesting so, so I'll have to take your word for this.

What I do see is him responding to seemingly rather frequent harassment about AI use @ curl however. The stance he takes in those cases is very reasonable (even if you don't use AI for scanning the codebase and contributions, threat actors will), it's unfortunate this topic is so political that he has to deal with this to such an extent.
