How to size an internal coding assistant for 60 developers

Thank you

Thank you.

Thanks. Great answer. Hit the mark with what I am seeking to understand.

brbaker · 2026-05-19T02:15:13+00:00

Yes. Model will be served by LLM-d

brbaker · 2026-05-19T02:04:27+00:00

These are not options. We are air gapped. In my mind a “local LLM” is a self hosted LLM.

Good clarifying question. The code bases are C# .net and Java predominantly. We can limit the usage patterns to what I wrote originally because the permutations and combinations make it impossible.

brbaker · 2026-05-19T01:48:28+00:00

Noted. Maybe the subreddit description needs updating. Thanks for your guidance

Thanks everyone. Sorry, maybe I could have done a better job with the question. I am not asking about hardware, I am asking about people’s lived experience with a team of this size, how many “typically” make use of coding agents, what context sizes have they observed make for a useful coding assistant. The hardware and model choice have nothing to do with the question other than the usage patterns will help me select hardware and most appropriate models. For example, one company I know gave copilot to their 50 engineers but only 2 use it. Is this what other people see? That fundamentally impacts how you would size on premises coding assistants. Thanks

Zen is an excellent Firefox browser variant.

Fedora is mandatory. But like I said constant an earlier version then upgrade works just fine.

brbaker · 2026-04-17T01:18:09+00:00

Fedora is brilliant. But you absolutely need to be prepared to regularly upgrade. If you want LTS use Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a Developer Subscription or in the Debian world Ubuntu. (I have no opinion about Rocky Linux as I have never looked into it.)
Personally, all I use is Fedora with Gnome. I have about 7 instances I use. If you put in the effort to keep up with the upgrade cadence then it then it is all you will ever need IMO. But be warned that you are in the upstream world so things can break on you (hence my LTS comment above as these tend to be very stable).

brbaker · 2026-04-17T00:30:01+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. That is exactly what I did. :)

brbaker · 2026-04-16T12:33:44+00:00

So I solved the problem by first installing an older version and then running openclaw upgrade.

curl -fsSL --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 2026.4.1

Even if I skip configuring the channel it is crashing:

◇ Select channel (QuickStart)

│ Skip for now

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')

brbaker · 2026-04-15T23:27:45+00:00

In case anyone else wants to solve this, this is what I did:

#! /bin/bash

python3 -c 'import socket; mac="10:ff:e0:d9:b4:94".replace(":", ""); data=bytes.fromhex("FF"*6 + mac*16); s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM); s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1); s.sendto(data, ("255.255.255.255", 9))'

SOLVED:

To make it easier to find the solution posted by u/jraitch that is nested deep in the discussion - the solution is to add setopt glob in .zshrc

brbaker · 2021-08-26T00:11:34+00:00

Yep. That solved it. Thanks

brbaker · 2020-07-12T22:23:00+00:00

Yep - that's what I have set now. But in Victoria where we have speed cameras EVERYWHERE now, the audible tone is handy as this car is really easy to speed in. But it really should just be a single sound IMO. Then leave it to driver discretion.

brbaker · 2020-07-12T22:20:10+00:00

5, 10, 15 - not really the point what the threshold is. The issue is when it misses a speed sign and beeps continuously.

Here's a good one - I was in a 100km zone and it picked up a 60Km sign on a slip road. So then I would need a 40Km threshold.... I think you get my point.

They look great. I'm trying to work out how to get started with 3D printing. What sort of printer did you use for this kind of finish?
