DO temporarily, it's reliable and easy to setup. For my EU clients, they'll be moving over to boxes on Hetzner. For my Canadian clients, Robson Inc in Vancouver. Yes, these three hosts have GPUs and talk about LLMs - But they aren't going out of their way to glorify them, and chastise those against.

I've used LLMs - running models locally, integrated into my editors (gemma3:4b is pretty alright in this situation). Overall they're fine. For small things, good autocomplete but somewhat annoying when they're way wrong.

For my larger projects, they're abysmall or don't work at all - recently working with 2+ million lines of PHP which is not enjoyable on the best days, I can't imagine the LLM thought any better.

How do you actually get something from Robson? Their site just redirects me to LinkedIn. Also, thanks for the lengthy reply! I feel a lot of this… and I have been vibe coding some personal stuff recently because my time is so limited and my brain is very tired these days.

You're right, getting anything from Robson now seems... not possible? Not sure what's going on there, I have 2 machines with them, but they're from many years ago... I think I should re-evaluate this choice and look for a different local provider.
