Piotr Paszewski's post "Why I am building a local coding agent" argues he hasn't hand-written code for a year yet actively steers agents, and explains the case for self-hosted local coding agents. @jaydeepkarale draws a parallel to Python's pip-install era: agents and LLMs are black boxes now, and good engineers won't be satisfied using them as-is — local LLMs with custom harnesses will be a theme.
