I couldn't get "OpenGPT" (4-bit quantized) to respond sanely. It was chatty, broke Markdown formatting, and often ended with long chains of gibberish tokens. I used a basic Fibonacci prompt with a custom code execution tool. I tried the following SOTA models instead (spoiler: Qwen3 won) 🧵

With the Augment Code on @jetbrains.com and Junie on the horizon I'm in the process of switching to @webstorm.jetbrains.com. But the biggest surprise of the week was Fleet ❤️‍🔥 I've seen so many bad reviews but it's everything I ever wanted from Code! If VS gets on your nerves it's worth a try

A week later I still love dropping into Codespaces for random shit like fixes to Obsidian plugins. But I'm surprised how often I lose my terminal connection inside. It also doesn't warn me before accidentally closing my broswer tab vs editor pane

I know it's stupid but sometimes I don't PR just because I don't want to clone etc. Lately I've been opening a repo into GitHub.dev to make easy fixes then jumping straight into Codespace when necessary. And @github.com has made the flow between sites completely seamless. It's 🔥🔥🔥
