I took the plan that I used from Codex and handed it to opencode with Qwen 3.5 running locally.

It created a library very similar to Codex but took 2x longer.

I haven't tried Qwen 3.6 but I hear it's another improvement. I'm confident with my AI skills that if/when cheap/subsidized models go away, I'll be fine running locally.

Do you know a better zipper?

I used to sell outdoor equipment. If a brand cheaps out on zippers, I wouldn't trust it.

I really like my Patagonia Black hole mini MLC. Awesome access. Fits under an airplane seat. Generous laptop padding. Excellent zippers. Water bottle pocket. Lovely warranty (Patagonia store nearby often gives new product when I try to get product repaired).

Some do all the editing for you. Others make you do the editing. Some do "in between". Where they do some edits but then ask you to validate, etc.

That middle group has always been annoying because it has been a huge context shift. By the time I go through their questions, it's typically easier for me to do the full edit myself.

No, I'm not editing a feature length movie.

I've been editing my videos by transcription for the past two years. Can edit very quickly. Takes about 2 hours to edit a one hour video. It's actually faster than working with an editor.

Seemed annoying then.

Seems radical now.

But I love the hacker feel of it.

The button next to it pastes when I press it. If I press it again, it hits the enter command.

You can get a lot done with two buttons.

They even sent me a gift box because my blog post about the keyboard had driven so much traffic. It had a CST mouse in it (among other things).

Still using the mouse.

Nowadays you can buy awesome small batch keyboards from small vendors.

Next week I will be trying qwopus 27b.

I need to try the command line version.

Opencode was able to create the library as well. It just took about 2x longer.

Now I'm going to have to find the new best deal.

Have used asciidoc, HTML, word, latex, and rst.

Markdown is the least painful of all. It's not perfect but the others are worse.

(My custom stack uses markdown (or Jupyter notebooks converted to markdown). Pandoc plus some custom filters creates typst (for PDF) or epub.)
