I tried to do a "detailed" skim to see where it explained that a local model isn't going to be anywhere near as capable as a frontier model. Nope. The implication is that the $200 is for the tool. It's not.20 Jan 2026 20:07 +0000at://did:plc:bt43mld4df3u2xswjlr5ondx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcuxgzc6i22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/kpgalligan.bsky.social/post/3mbctqspllk2fSpent a lot of time with family this holiday season, exposing Eve to everything Christmas.

Don't let them edit Gradle. They'll rip out the wiring before checking the circuit breaker when trying to fix something. Hopefully the Android Studio agent has some better tooling than stock agents. https://www.youtube.com/live/0vMDXa2PluY?si=jqrGlyjn20AWm30r&t=848 (updates look really nice)31 Oct 2025 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:bt43mld4df3u2xswjlr5ondx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4ipzdckd22khttps://bsky.app/profile/kpgalligan.bsky.social/post/3m3vy4b4zss2wLove AI agents, hate AI agents.
