Yeah I would never recommend relying on just a linter. The linter can reduce scut work, but you always want to have at minimum a thorough code review process that’s looking at things like “ok, we made the linter happy; but are we happy with the result, or should we have just disabled the linter here?” and “the linter didn’t catch that we solved this thing with X here but with Y&Z last time. Let’s rationalize our approaches and get everything on the same page”

yes, well that's in the ideal world. In the reality, the "linter said so" is said sadly quite often.
