#2> This is not an advertisment for Claude Code. It's just the agent I use at the moment. What else is there? Alternatives that are similar in their user experiences are OpenCode, goose, Codex and many others. There is also Devin and Cursor's background agents but they work a bit different in that they run in the cloud.
What do you recommand to get a Claude-code-like experience in the open-source + local llm ecosystem?

#3I find it excellent news that all the techniques that make agentic coding more efficient also make human coding more efficient. There was a worry that code would become big mud balls that only AI understand, but it looks like the opposite. Clear code is important for AI productivity, so it now matters even more, because the difference of productivity is immediately and objectively measurable. Before AIs what code was well factored or not was largely a matter of opinion. Now you can say; look how better Claude works on codebase A vs codebase B, and present your case with numbers.

There is nothing at the moment that I would recommend. However I'm quite convinced that we will see this soon. First of all I quite like where SST's OpenCode is going. The upcoming UX looks really good. Secondly because having that in place, will make it quite easy to put local models in when they get better. The issue really is that there are just not enough good models for tool usage yet. Sonnet is so shockingly good because it was trained for excellent tool usage. Even Gemini does not come close yet.
This is all just a question of time though.

I’m also interested to hear ideas for this.

Have you tried aider, and if so, how is it lacking compared to Claude Code in your opinion?

I only tried aider with hosted models and it's too expensive compared to Claude Code so I did not give it a real proper try.

Aider is almost there, in fact it's intentionally "not" there. You can set it up to do things like run test/static analysis automatically and fix errors, and work with it to get a to-do list set up so the entire project is spec'd out, then just keep prompting it with "continue...". It has a hard coded reflection limit of 3 iterations right now, but that can also be hacked to whatever you want. The only thing missing for full agentic behavior is built in self prompting behavior.
