  • Model Showdown Round 3: Ditching Ollama in Favor of llama.cpp
    1 project | dev.to | 10 May 2026
    Ollama is fantastic for ollama pull model && ollama run model. It's genuinely the best way to get started with local models. But when you're running them as infrastructure — serving through an OpenAI-compatible API to Coder Agents, IDE extensions, and automation — the abstraction layer starts to chafe.

    code-server is an open-source project that runs VS Code in a browser, allowing developers to work through a web IDE on a remote server. As HagiCode Desktop integrates code-server as its built-in runtime, we need to build, verify, and distribute customized versions of code-server across different operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows).

  • Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?
    23 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Apr 2026
    code-server, instead of VSCode. I can build my own podman image on top of it with whatever dev tools I need for whatever languages I'm working with, and if I have to install something weird or something breaks I can just restart the container. Especially on my work machine that isn't Linux, I have this running in a VM and can just use in my browser and don't have to jump through hoops to get the dev environment I want. On my personal instance I also use it for automating building stuff from source. Before I had this, I just had build tools on pretty much every single machine I was building for and it was a hot mess.
