im pretty much entirely coding with ai now. I get to focus more of architecture which appeals to me.
Gemini is my favourite Saas coder, but they lie. They claim 1 million context but the models become braindead beyond 200,000.
GPT 20B is my go-to local coder. It's definitely on par with gemini flash, but not as good as pro. Probably better coder than I am. I have max 120k context configured, but up around 60-80k it gets dumb.
What's also quite interesting, they are particularly bad at ursina and panda3d.
