On my own time I still like the 'chat' format of me writing a short prompt and having the model turn it into a few dozen lines of code, or make a simple refactor (like turn a field into a method parameter.

I wasn't impressed with Chinese models (I tried Deepseek V4 Pro/Flash, and GLM5.2) the amount of questionable code and mistakes and misunderstandings meant the money saved and faster speed of models didn't translate to faster progress for me.
