> 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.



Apologies - I had the LLM generate the readme and it looks like it got a bit overzealous. I'll get some actual benchmarks and cost usage analysis going. I've tamed the README somewhat. Please check it out!
