> Traditional: Read 5000 lines → Find method → Replace → Write 5000 lines
What of today's agents work like this? None of the ones I've tried would do something like that, but instead would grep/search the file, then do a smaller edit (different tools do those in different ways).
Overall, it does feel like a strawman argument against "Traditional" when almost none of the tooling actually works like that.
I've been working on this project. I built this in about two days, using it to build itself at the tail end of the effort. It's not perfect, but I see the promise in it. It stops the thrashing the LLMs can do when they're looking for types or trying to resolve anything like that.
