Stop Burning Tokens on Code Review: Use Custom Linters Instead
Elijah_Meeks · x · 2026-08-16
Swizec Teller discusses building a system for safe and fast collaboration between humans and AI agents. He argues that traditional AI code review (like Cursor's BugBot) is expensive ($1000/week) and adds overhead due to false positives and fluff. The proposed solution is custom linters, which serve as guardrails and feedback loops, providing fast, cheap validation for both human and agent-generated code.
