That is like a fanboy claim. A lot of problems in software has nothing to do with syntax or the compiler but logical errors in your own thinking.

And a lot of work is quite experimental by nature. For instance I did a lot of C++ GUI coding in the past. You need to run the program fairly frequently to test your layout, that updates are happening the way they should etc. A linter cannot fix that for you.

If you work with data science, experimenting with data, then that is a naturally iterative process. A linter makes no difference.
