I used Qwen CLI's undescribed “coder_agent” (I guess Qwen 3.5 with size auto-selection) and it was powerful enough to complete 95% of a small hobby project involving coding, reverse engineering and debugging. Sometimes it was able to w

Love to see some old-style death loops. Reminds me of when /r/bing was showing the best deliria of the early versions of Copilot.
