I think that this still isn't true for even very mundane tasks like "read CSV file and translate column B in column C" for files with more than ~200 lines. The LLM will simply refuse to do the work and you'll have to stitch the badly formatted answer excerpts together yourself.
- simonw 9mo agoTry it. It will work fine, because the coding agent will write a little Python script (or sed or similar) and run that against the file - it won't attempt to rewrite the file by reading it and then outputting the transformed version via the LLM itself.
