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.", "body_md": "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.\n\nI 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.\n\nI 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.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemma-4-for-coding-help", "canonical_source": "https://www.dotnetperls.com/2026_10_23_gemma-4-coding-help", "published_at": "2026-10-23 07:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-23 16:13:20.136300+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "ai-tools", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Gemma 4", "llama-cpp", "gemma-4-26B_q4_0-it.gguf"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemma-4-for-coding-help", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemma-4-for-coding-help.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemma-4-for-coding-help.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gemma-4-for-coding-help.jsonld"}}
