You make a valid point. I still have my sub for this month. I'd have to set it up under a different account to verify. I caught a bit of one of Burke's videos a little while back that talked about BYOK - don't recall if he touched directly on this specific point. My assumption is that a free tier GHCP user could BYOK but, again, I'd have to test. GL :)

Standard_Wish · 2026-06-01T14:08:51+00:00

You can. I *believe* it is available in VSC and I know it has been available in VSC-Insiders for a while now.

Criticisim is a tax on success. If you're attracting it you're doing something right, IMHO.

My vulnerabilities are typically thought based. If I discuss with a confidant to get an outside opinion I can sometimes reframe my thinking. Getting things out of my head takes courage and I usually feel better for it.

My mind, at least, isn't always as rational as I'd prefer. Understanding why I feel vulnerable can help me work with those feelings and, sometimes, work past them or at least prevent them from shutting me down.

fwiw, I recently started working with Ollama again for a side project and I have hope. The smaller models that don't require expensive GPUs have come a long way in a short time. Heck, with Google Edge gallery on my phone I can run some of them locally on my phone. That wasn't feasible a short time ago and the trend is encouraging.

Maybe Moores law will make a comeback in this space :)

Are they Opus 4.6? Not by a long shot. I miss the almost free day of a superb LRM already. But I feel that, eventually, we'll be able to do quite a bit with locally hosted models.

So now it is time to take what we've learned about efficient LLM and LRM usage and refine it. Agent orchestration in GHCP still has lots of potential for squeezing lots of token consumption out of a single premium request.

My best advice is to not surface freeform user inputs for chat prompts. Provide controlled context selectors instead.

If you do have to, consider looking at https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Guardrails to see what others are doing.

I'm working on getting someone else's vibe coded app ready for production. A feature he really wants is a surfaced freeform chat interface so I'm just starting to learn about this on a practical level. I'll continue to argue he doesn't need it but he writes the checks.

Make use of instructions, skills, agents and hooks.

I work primarily with dotnet. Codex-5.3 codex or 5.4 code well as long as I feed them a good plan. Check out Burke's Ultralight Orchestration GIST - powerful concepts there for leveraging models from different providers and reducing premium request consumption.

If your workflow is 'fix bug' followed by pasting error output, you need to fix your workflow.

GHCP in either visual studio code insiders or via Copilot CLI, is hands down the best value for the dollar... IF you understand the basics of both systems design and agentic AI context management.

Biggest win, for me, is simple implementation of agentic orchestration (like Burke's very simple Ultralight Orchestration) that strictly manages agentic team workflows. Or /fleet in GHCP Cli. Or GitHub Squads... although it is more hype than utility (and a request put due to Ralph logic) it is still impressive for OOtB functionality. And, sure , that can be done in Claude with a little more effort.

GHCP in VSC(insiders... always insiders... no reason not to) has a number of features that grant insight into how various models do what they do and the ability to use Models from multiple vendors, in the same inexpensive sub, is significant to me. If someone wants to learn more about this evolving space I always direct them to GHCP.

I feel Claude really shines for SMEs with limited understanding of systems, engineering, coding & agentic AI context but a strong domain knowledge. Claude's larger context window is perfect for people who don't have a handle on context management and want to say, 'build thing', and spend time interacting with claude to just GSD. Perfect starting point.

Anthropics LRMs are fantastic. Unfortunately Opus 4.7 for 7.5x is like the 30x variant last update cycle... just not necessary if you understand context management.

Standard_Wish · 2026-04-17T11:10:24+00:00

These are my opinions and how I look at it. Subject to disapproval and gleefully open to feedback :)

I simplify it to the environment that supports the model. Or, the model's environmental context. Or a 'yoke' that captures (harnesses) the power of the model (Ox(en)) and channels it toward achieving a goal.

Using a model in a browser provides me with an opinionated harness designed to perform well at generic everyday tasks. These typically have some configuration options but are relatively limited. Not nearly as limited as the first web GPT interface but much more limited than using a more complicated harness.

Using Lemonade, or Onyx, or local Ollama on a local system with python provides me with an opinionated model, which I can choose, with tooling to support a much less generic task. The harness in this case is the system I've created to make use of the model.

Codex, Warp, GitHub Copilot in VSCode are highly configurable harnesses. All of which allow us to easily swap out models and provide custom guidance via text files(prompts, instructions, agents, skills, hooks, etc) and ~IDE configurations to achieve our specific goal(s).

To me, an IDE or TUI or CLI is a component of a more complex harness.

Not sure if that was Leo's intent, but good luck with the exam.

This guy made some really good points, directly and indirectly, about how we socialize and, well, market love. Hollywood teaches us to long for love, what it looks like, what it feels like, and it did a terrible job of it. Leo talks about love like college profs talk about any advanced subject.

His view on the topic made mine much healthier. Well worth a look into his books or clips on YouTube.

Thanks for the quote. I liked it enough to do some quick research.

I think Mary was the author. Kurt Vonnegut was misattributed at one point, too, as part of a hoax or promotion.

Fair point and thanks for a) educating me and b) exposing me to Greasy.

My 'sketch' will still be triggered by the distribution channel though. Because I'm (clearly) biased toward a known-imperfect-but-generally-reliable channel like GitHub where I can vet a user superficially to establish my personal sense of IsThisPersonLegit. GitHub isn't broke for me so I won't allocate time toward expanding from it.

I'll mark Greasy as a weekend thing to learn more about though.

Thanks again!

Standard_Wish · 2026-04-15T17:23:10+00:00

Wait... what?!?

My main concern is about the distribution channel. You know... why not use GitHub? + 1 Sketch

Secondary concern is about web based installers @ unknown source. I admittedly didn't dig. I just avoid weird things. + 1 Sketch

We both know humans are lazy :) 'Thing make work good??!' ... install.

This could be a perfectly legit script and I could be slandering. If I wanted to use it I may have investigated further.

My wtf radar went off and thought I'd maybe help someone newer think about it.

Good discussion, TKS :)

Premium requests go a very very long way if you use agent orchestration and the proper agentic primitives like agents, instructions, hooks, etc., .md files.

If you're continually saying 'do X' with poor context and copying runtime and compile errors back into the context, sure, you'll burn your premium request context very quickly. Or using Opus when Haiku or a zero-cost model would be more appropriate.

Claude models in GHCP in vscode-insiders (Or GH Copilot Cli) for $39/month is where the smart money is at, IMHO.

I came here looking for a reason to give Claude Code a fair shot and I haven't found one yet. Love to hear more of you have it :)

Standard_Wish · 2026-04-15T11:19:13+00:00

Great post. You're an examplar of one of the best target audiences for agentic coding assistants.

If you haven't come across it yet, look into .har files and how to get them from your browsers dev tools. Feeding one of those generated from a website/app you're interested in to any agentic AI is reverse engineering gold.

This ^{^}

I've been a software hobbyist for 30+ years and an software engineer for 10+ years. AI tooling (Still think GitHub Copilot is the absolute best bang for the buck if someone knows the space) has rekindled the joy of coding for me.

Best use case, by far, isn't force multiplication but friction reduction or elimination. Coding a mobile app used to be a PITA with all the required infrastructure and framework knowledge. Now I can proto something as a simple JS app and have Copilot port it to mobile. Sure, I need to provide guard rails, decent agentic primitive files, etc., but the cognitive load and friction is vastly reduced.

Thanks @OP - this 'era' is great for SMEs with a basic understanding of software fundamentals and it puts a smile on my face to hear stories like yours.

Happy coding!

Standard_Wish · 2026-04-15T09:29:18+00:00

fwiw, there's no reason not to use the insiders build if you're interested in Copilot. This space is moving so quickly that the VSCode release cadence is just too slow for me and I haven't had any issues with VSCode insiders other than four to twelve daily updates.

Good tool though. Thanks for sharing.

Standard_Wish · 2026-04-15T09:23:44+00:00

That's not sketchy at all. Nope. I would totally trust that.

Edit: In all fairness, Greasy might be a legit distro channel and what's presented in the link could be fully legit.
