Code linters should check code style, not code correctness. I don't remember a single instance of a lint rule for correctness that accurately detected an issue, but I have seen countless instances of a linter recommendation introducing a bug or otherwise creating friction.

Thanks! That's a bit discouraging to hear, but I hope you're maybe wrong for once
I've been reading papers like https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.5718 which are able to detect bad patterns like bubble sort quite successfully (+94% acc)
Would you recommend any other paper to change my mind? -
There are useful things you can do with mere pattern recognition, even in software development. You just need to be aware of the limits of your tools. DL does one thing and does it well (within its constraints), but it is not a magic wand you can wave at any problem.
