Hmm, Claude Code and Opencode work fine for me.
It's a bit amusing that coding agents rely on drawing 1000W+ and using 2TB+ of memory in a datacenter to run, yet people really focus on the last few watts and few hundred megabytes of memory on their laptop (which get dwarfed by the energy cost of compiling their code anyways). But I suppose making them a bit faster and lighter wouldn't hurt.

- kvdveer 5mo agoThe data centre runs on a dedicated power line. My laptop runs on battery. Using coding agents currently drains battery quite fast, which is surprising, given that the vast majority of the work does not take place on my laptop. Making the client side coding agent more efficient isn't about saving the climate. It is about extending the workday (which might actually make the climate worse)
