Local Qwen 3.6 is Good Enough for Coding

The author argues that for coding, technical planning, and hardware configurations, the locally-run Qwen 3.6 35B A3B is already "good enough." Its occasional missteps can be resolved through improved workflows and discipline. As long as the tools, direction, and context are properly set up, it rarely makes mistakes. The author questions if users are simply spoiled and expecting the model to read their minds.
