I am a freelancer. I have been into applied ai and mostly use python. I don’t always want to rely on expensive plans(Claude code etc). Also I don't like yolo philosophy where you generate a lot of code at once. I prefer doing step-by-step code generation, minor edits or generation. I tried aider, liked it somewhat but i also tried to build a minimal terminal based tool so i edit one file at a time, provide file and/or web context(docs) when needed. I am focusing on python for now.
