I kept the subscription count on a diet
The author of an article stopped paying for multiple AI coding tools and built a setup that can utilize various large language models (LLMs), including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models. They realized that different LLMs have unique strengths, such as exceling at frontend work, debugging, or handling specific tasks.
According to XDA Developers, the author noted that beyond code, a model might be great at reasoning but fall short when it comes to writing, research, or working with large amounts of context.
The author also discussed the use of rules files in AI coding agents, which can include guidelines for naming conventions, architecture, security, and testing. However, they questioned whether these rules are actually enforced or simply read by the AI, highlighting the importance of consistency across multiple developers, repositories, and AI tools.
