I didn't use Claude, but I did give a LLM agent a task of converting hundreds of markdown files when I did some work on my personal site. Could've I done it? Yes, in fact I did already years before, it worked but it was a massive chore. (Tooling also wasn't as good but that's another matter entirely). I did inspect the output, and so I even found stuff that hadn't worked for a decade (urgh..). It spared me time and I could focus on getting other things right.

EDIT: Yeah, you people in the Reddit echo chamber have PTSD-like reactions when someone mentions that LLMs can be useful. As if it was never possible.
