alt Hacker NewsYes it matters regardless of how much thinking you offloaded. Having the tools you’re using vanish would stop anyone. Imagine if your favorite editor or other tools vaporized and you had 30 minutes left.
If the OP had hours they’d probably be fine.
My different smug answer is: I bought a laptop with 64G of RAM before the RAM bubble and would try throwing qwen3 or gemma at it.

A bit off-topic, but "I" just created my own editor yesterday, maybe took 5 hours and it does everything I need, and I no longer need to swap between VS Code and Zed.
