Gemma 4 for Coding Help

A developer used the local model gemma-4-26B_q4_0-it.gguf in llama-cpp to fix long-standing HTML and JavaScript issues, adding lazily loaded images to a blog and a defer-loaded JavaScript file to a search page to cut bandwidth use and speed up page display. The developer said the local Gemma 4 model made the task somewhat easier than using search engines, while noting they have not yet figured out agentic coding.

Today I wanted to fix some long-standing issues on HTML and JavaScript files I have. I decided to just use gemma-4-26B_q4_0-it.gguf in llama-cpp and prompt it about the required HTML syntax.

I added lazily loaded images to my blog, and I added a defer JavaScript to the search page. This should reduce bandwidth usage (if someone visits the blog and doesn't scroll down, about half of the images will never load). And for the JavaScript, it will speed up how fast the search page displays as the search data is on a separate file, not directly in the HTML.

I haven't quite figured out agentic coding yet; perhaps it is not useful for my exact projects or something. In any case using a local model like Gemma 4 (instead of search engines) made the task somewhat easier.
