062: Your Go linters don't know how to fix your code

One university published attracted my attention, because it was on Go, it's titled: "Assessing Golang Static Analysis Tools on Real-World Issues".
Do you find your static analysis and linters tools could be more helpful when reporting issues?
I'm mixed feeling really, I think that they're pretty damn good. Tools can always improve for sure, not sure if we will need the help of LLMs to mix static analysis checks and LLM analysis / proposed fixes, maybe that will be the next step for those tools.
