alt Hacker NewsAs a happy Claude Code user (thank you!), I’m genuinely curious why it prefers Bash or Python scripts to the Edit tool for editing a file? as a software engineer, surely the complexity involved is lower for the Edit tool?
Would love to hear the rationale/explanation behind this.
RL magic, I'm sure. It still reaches for the Edit tool for simple edits, but a non-trivial fraction of edits need to be repeated across a file or several files.
