    @janikvonrotz I still need to try out one of these... Currently I'm too cozy with Claude code.

    Are you using a CLI tool, or just chat?

    @ligasser I am using the Pi.dev harness. I recently did a training on the work-with-pi-workflow: wiki.mint-system.ch/input-prom

    I highly recommend to just not use anything by Anthropic or OpenAI (and BigTech). It is so much more interesting.

    To give you an example: The basic Pi installation gives you the absolute basics. For harness features like todo lists or subagents you install extensions. One of the extenions I like is pi.dev/packages/pi-context-vie It deciphers the entire context windows / usage

    @janikvonrotz I decided some time ago that I don't want to do that :) My goal is not to understand LLMs, that's not where I want to learn stuff. I want to use them to do my work:

    - fixing security issues
    - explore and write code
    - discuss ideas
    - grammar check on my emails...

    So far the Claude code is the one CLI where I trust it the most not to do stupid stuff in my terminal, and I really like the workflow. Now it can do things it failed to do 2 years ago, so I don't want to go back...

    @ligasser Ok, that is an interesting attitude. And by interesting I mean questionable.

    I believe the least thing you can do is not using Claude but everything else. And as I understand you have the privilege to access so many alternatives. So why not use them?

    @janikvonrotz Does "I tried, but couldn't get it to work the way I want, and don't want to fiddle around with LLMs, but do other stuff, like fiddling around with coopcloud.tech recipes" count?

    @ligasser @janikvonrotz I think you can plug in EPFL RCP models directly in claude code. I personally use OpenCode, and it's decent. I tried Pi, permission system wasn't built in, and you need a plug-in, so I have up quickly.

    @yildiz @ligasser I did use OpenCode, but did not like:

    - cli (run without interaction)
    - access session info (token count, model)
    - configurability (system prompt, extensions)
    - assumes a lot (todos, mcp, plan/build modes)

    The permission system of opencode is not a real safeguard. You should rather run the thing in sandbox that on the computer.

    What are the EPFL RCP models?

    @janikvonrotz @ligasser oh yeah I wouldn't dare unleash it on my work machine or prod environment. I run in rootless podman,with only access to code I'm working on, modifying container image depending on use case.
