And local is usually less parameters. Reasoning on a local model is very poor.

You can always tell when your on a new bug when you ask about error “exception when calling…” and AI returns your exact implementation of the error back as a solution.

I still think that local models in places without internet are better then offline documentation.
No. Not really. “Computer” also used to refer to a human profession. I believe “programmer” will be exclusively referring to an AI role in a generation or two.
