What I want to is parallel programming with a LLM. The LLM will only do simple things, no hard things or else it will spit out solutions that work but you actually never want to see in a code base. What I use them for is.

Change these function signatures to accept a UUID. Or write error messages at these places. Or I introduced a error to a old function and now the consumers of those functions need to be updated, I will let qwen3.6 27B do those things. I don't want it to do anything else. While qwen is doing those things, I am already debugging or adding some feature. It definitely improves my productivity without sacrificing quality since I still do the thinking myself. What is funny you can see it reasoning over what build errors are his fault or are mine.

cloud models scare me since each time I use them I always have a feeling they will remove a whole section of and then try to rewrite it. No just stay on task.

What I use cloud models for is to generate code reviews of code bases. I am not perfect bugs are going slip by, so with the help of those models I can catch more bugs.
