> I now default to finding what I need in codebases via agents

Huh, that is the exact same thing I do. I rarely actually let them generate code anymore but for searching where to potentially make changes they are so so damn good. Even the local models!

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/pojntfx/statuses/116082273132793432 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)

Yeah, even local models optimized for tool calls do really well with codebase search. You don't need to give away your data or utilize power hungry datacenters if that's your concern (ignoring training of course which I know is still a stickler for many).
