When I contribute to OSS with AI I’m essentially engaging in a donation matching scheme where Anthropic matches 1 to 20 the dollar value invested (usually I can get ~2k of value per month on the $100 plan) in the open source project.
So any project that doesn’t accept AI PRs is really missing out on significant investment
You’re right, and it feels like these people saying otherwise either don’t use these tools professionally (and therefore can’t tell a difference between local/cloud models) or literally just haven’t tried running local models
As soon as I can buy hardware for less than 5k that runs an opus 4.6+/5.5 model locally I will do it instantly
Got laid off last year, took about 6 weeks to find something. Similar comp, slightly better WLB actually. Might have just gotten lucky but 3% sounds about right for most people I know
Yeah we moved to Claude a few months ago, mostly because the devs kept using it anyway. Altman stuff is interesting but at the end of the day you just go with whatever tool works
Yeah my CTO says similar things. I usually just tell him to add it to the backlog and move on. At the end of the day these tools save us 3-4 eng hires and that’s what the board cares about
I kinda agree with you but consider that the perf on apple silicon is so much better that you’re probably still better off using the gimped tablet thing.
