    2. Best local LLM setup for coding on an M5 Pro 48GB?
    3. I thought 8 LLMs meant 8 opinions. Then 3 pitched the same product today.

    2. I gave AI coding agents a dopamine loop. On my benchmark, it beat Ponytail on code, tokens, cost, and time.
    3. I got tired of AI benchmarks being astrology with JSON, so I started BRONCO
