I loathe the idea of being beholden to large corporations for what may be a key part of this job in the future.
And we all know that enshittyfication is coming.
Same thing will happen with these tools, just a matter of time.
r/locallama has very good discussion for this!
I never see devs containerize their coding agents. It seems so obvious to me, but I guess people are happy with claude living in their home directory and slurping up secrets.

The devs I work with don't put secrets in their home directories. ;)
My takeaway is that clock is ticking on Claude, Codex et al's AI monopoly. If a local setup can do 90% of what Claude can do today, what do things look like in 5 years?
Exactly, imagine what Claude can do in five years!

(In particular the fact that Claude Code has access to your Anthropic API key is ironic given that Dario and Anthropic spend a lot of time fearmongering about how the AI could go rogue and “attempt to escape”).
I am still hoping, but for the moment… I have been trying every 30-80B model that came out in the last several months, with crush and opencode, and it's just useless. They do produce some output, but it's nowhere near the level that claude code gets me out of the box. It's not even the same league. With LLMs, I feel like price isn't the main factor: my time is valuable, and a tool that doesn't improve the way I work…
So my guess would be - we need open conversation or something along the line of "useful linguistic-AI approaches for combing and grooming code"

At that point you should be able to make a responsible decision by yourself. These are the same people, by and large. What I have seen is users who purely vibe code everything and run into…
If this is the new way code is written then they are arguably learning how to code. Jury is still out though, but I think you are being a bit dismissive.
A "vibecoder" is to a programmer what script kiddie is to a hacker.
Under current prices buying hardware just to run local models is not worth it EVER, unless you already need the hardware for other reasons or you somehow value having no one else be able to possibly see your AI usage. Let's be generous and assume you are able to get a RTX 5090 at MSRP ($2000) and ignore the rest of your hardware, then run a model that is the optimal size for the GPU. A 5090 has one of the best throug…
> I realized I looked at this more from the angle of a hobbiest paying for these coding tools. Someone doing little side projects—not someone in a production setting. I did this because I see a lot of people signing up for $100/mo or $200/mo coding subscriptions for personal projects when they likely don’t need to. Are people really doing that? If that's you, know that you can get a LONG way on the $20/month plans fr…
Me. Currently using Claude Max for personal coding projects. I've been on Claude's $20 plan and would run out of tokens. I don't want to give my money to OpenAI. So far these projects have not returned their value back to me, but I am viewing it as an investment in learning best pratices with these coding tools.
