Because it means the hygiene is thrown over the fence in a post commit manner. AI makes this worse because they also run them "over the fence". However you run it, i want a human to hold accountability for the mainline committed code.

I run linters like eslint on my machine inside a container. This reduces attack surface.

How does this throw hygiene over the fence?
