What do you think of traditional AST-based static analyzers (like SonarQube, Rubocop, etc.) that catch cyclomatic complexity and code duplication deterministically?

You can even put them on the build pipeline, even. No tokens spent at all!



I haven't used them but I'm sure they're good and I'm sure they're even using LLMs themselves now as a non-deterministic pass. For my use cases I'm just trying to keep vendors/costs to a minimum.
