> I mean, if you start building an auto-fixer pipeline for an auto-linted error... then is that error actually valid in the first place? Probably not.
Just because you can automate it does not mean that the task is worthless.
React provides auto-migration scripts to newer versions, Python had the 2to3 utility, the Linux kernel has patches auto-generated with Coccinelle, editors have "rename this variable and all references" functions. Starting from a certain code base size there are changes that are worthwhile and best tackled with automation.
