even identify code that doesn’t follow coding guidelines.
Code linters have existed for decades, that doesn’t require LLMs

AI code review finds a lot more bugs (such as logic bugs). But yes linters can be used for that specific case

That’s how I feel about autocompletion and scaffolding, we’ve had LSPs and code generators for years, and they’re exponentially less wasteful

Not all guidelines are enforceable with linters. For example one of our code bases at work defines when to avoid mock tests, how integration tests should look like, how a module’s architecture is supposed to be, how the naming convention for components of the different layers are, etc. Those are super ugly to formalize into a linter but super easy to check with an LLM.
