Coding agents have agency - they can decide on their own
what files they need to read in order to understand a codebase.
Common harnesses such as Claude Code or Codex provide a
limited set of tools to perform Software Engineering tasks -
Read, Write, Edit.
I read many news about LLMs nowadays. One topic I’m most interested in
is local inference for LLMs, and trying to find the sweet spot where they can be used
in local setups.
Editors 
 Of course as a programmer, I use some editors.
My most used day-to-day are VSCode and Zed .
VSCode extensions are really great, but when I need something really snappy, Zed is now the default.
It has also gained a lot of possibilities recently, with the Debugger and Agent tooling.
