It came up just this weekend, my team mates that were using Claude lost access to the models they were using because Trump got a bug up his nose. I use a local ai coding model for stuff... and by local I mean in my desktop running locally on my gpu with good reason.

I have two computers that can do that, but I limit the amount of even local AI I use. It's way better than becoming dependent on Claude, but only in the same way that methadone is better than using actual meth. I never want to forget the basics of programming, and I swear there are "developers" now-

-who don't know their enums from their interfaces anymore. My challenge for other developers who've become addicted to AI: Create a new project in whatever language you like, but do the scaffolding by hand. I think a lot of them have forgotten that CLIs for scaffolding new projects even exist.
