I use the shit out of opencode to do things as a force multiplier, not as a way to keep me from knowing what its doing.

The point at which we're optimizing for "we don't need to know that anymore" is the point at which everything blows up, because agentic work is not fully deterministic, models hallucinate even simple things.

Never saw the actual blog post.

Absolute mobile cancer.

But even though Searx is really good at it, I find myself using Google image search more often than not.

And then there’s YouTube. Even with all its bullshit I don’t know how to replace it.
