@pythonbynight (culling the list a bit)
My take is that LLMs are really useful and I see years ahead of them getting better.
That said, when local models reach the frontier models' current level (I believe they will by the end of the year), they will have achieved "good enough" status to be useful.
In the end, open source wins, and I never thought UV or Ruff would be the last time any of us switched tools. They are just the best we have today. 🍿

@webology If (when?) local models reach usability that nullifies or minimizes dependance on frontier models, that seems to be a financially ruinous scenario for a company like OpenAI... That's actually one of the scenarios where I see a large potential for harming users that are tied to such tooling. (Must mention, I'll be glad if the harms are abated or minimized!) And that's a fair point on tool hopping... I'll likely go back using pdm, which I used (and liked) before uv--not necessarily because I'm running for the hills, but I also kind of like trying out different tools anyway.
