@ArtHarg@mastodon.nl > So you did indeed not read his post but decided to go full porcupine and throw a hissy fit when called out. Talk about arrogance. Try that gaslighting shit elsewhere. > Using a free software stack, you could be an effective developer with a relatively low budget. A cheap or used laptop and an internet subscription. >LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer. To which I replied >Excuse me, no. I'm using open source MLs. Is it this part you don't like? Or this one? > LLM coding is changing that too. You either need a very powerful and expensive machine to run a local model, or (currently more likely) an LLM subscription. We are lead to believe you have to pay a monthly fee to be an effective developer. That's a begged question and it's not true either. > The prospect of your output as a developer being tied to a proprietary service seems risky at best. Which is, of course, bullshit.
