The 'local model' is called your brain.

I’m sorry but that’s just dumb. An LLM is a tool. Your brain is not a substitute for an LLM in the same way your fingers are not a substitute for a wrench.

The year is 2026 and if you are using your brain on chore work like one-off scripts, refactoring, boilerplate test code, then you are wasting time and money and I don’t want to work with you.

Local models are fine for this and can do it in a fraction of the time your brain will take to even get bootstrapped
