I seem to be having more success (and fun) using **agentic AI** (locally with **small models**) than I have had with trying to use larger models for editing code. I think there is a major reason why: I tend to enjoy coding (at least at times), and I tend to **dislike managing websites**.

It makes sense that using agentic AI—running `llama-cpp`

with a small local model like Gemma 4 E4B and an MCP server—is more enjoyable than doing an **unpleasant** task. So it seems like the real benefit here might be **minimizing** the amount of time I do unpleasant things.

Some people might **dislike coding** (and I don't blame them) but I have always found it to be **interesting**—although exhausting mentally. However running command lines to update files and such on a website has always been **boring** and rote for me.

It is probably worth putting effort into trying to use agentic AI (like building an **MCP server** for local use on `llama-cpp`

) with **tasks** that are **unenjoyable**. For things that one finds enjoyable, agentic AI may have less utility.
