So I'vw never used a linter that generates code. I've used them to enforce code styles but never to generate code. And code generation isn't really the point there.
Second. AI isn't replacing devs? The massive layoffs in the tech sector would disagree. Its also not "dogshit apps". Google claims 90% of their code is generated and Microsoft claims 30% both come coupled with massive layoffs. To be fair Microsoft is kinda dogshit and Google search sucks now. But googles apps remain higher quality.
If the centrist argument is just to shrug and say "I guess we're stuck with it". I guess I'd say you aren't a centrist and are a tacit supporter of ai.
I didn't say AI isn't replacing devs. I specifically mentioned stuff like Claude code and people that generate complete apps from AI. That work is dog shit. Using it as a glorified search engine is not the same thing. You're strawmaning this argument by selectively picking words without context from my response. Debate in good faith or don't respond.
Its not like you can have one without the other. But I've found that people demanding responses in "good faith" are rarely engaged in it themselves.
The comment you reaponsed to asked why you aren't more angry about it. And you responded in support, without any reason why you wouldn't be mad, and also that it was only taking "bad" jobs.
But I specifically mentioned work at microsoft and Google which aren't "dog shit".
