@flaki @bodil Mike isn't saying "local models are the future so I'm boycotting Claude code." Nor is he saying, "local models will catch up, and I'm so confident that I'm willing to wait for that to happen before I use LLMs."
He has a sentiment, but no action. His usage is indistinguishable from the usage of the biggest Claude booster.
He's acting exactly like them, but I'm supposed to give him credit because he hopes the world will be different some day.

@flaki @bodil (I also seriously object to his framing on democratization in a way that almost makes me angry. The early web was great because of *community*, open code was a byproduct. Mike confuses the by-product with the cause, and abandons community to pursue technology, and ultimately paints a much more hopeless picture about where we are and what we can do, and one that is insultingly dismissive to the communities that exist today. But that's a separate issue)
