Working with AI
Every week there’s a new AI tool to jump on. Here I find out what’s worth keeping up with and what’s just hype.
A running ledger: which tools earned a place in how I work, which I’m still testing, and which I dropped, each with the receipt behind the call. Short on purpose. It grows when something earns it.
Plan with Claude, execute with a local Qwen.
Not an everyday driver, but for the right well-scoped project it's excellent: Claude writes the tightly structured tickets, and a local Qwen picks them up and executes. The harness matters more than the model: Qwen floundered under aider but held up in an opencode chat.

Not something I need day to day, but I'm trialling it while travelling. It shines for less technical people who want a visual dashboard over their tools instead of a terminal.
