At the end of the day it's a UX question. I could do the same as this (I use Paseo, similar thing, less obviously vibed copy in the docs if that helps...) with a bunch of terminal tabs and pi, and maybe some skills and scripts to help out, but it's a pain to manage.
Also, any time anything comes out it gives a clear impression that the leadership are bullies, from the CEO on down. That creates an environment in which people are afraid to speak up, which means issues get overlooked. Which isn't great for security either.
I would have absolutely no problem with a CEO setting a solid, well-founded direction about the use of AI to improve their products while keeping a foundation of security and privacy. But Yen just sounds like a Silicon Valley tokenmaxxing douchebag.
What I can’t tolerate is if they stop putting security first, which it sounds like they are under Yen’s leadership.
Say what you want about the benefits of systemd or the usefulness of other parts of what is now unavoidable with Linux, and I won't argue with many of them, but OpenBSD just feels like a *nix system is supposed to. `ps aux` is like 10 entries at first. `pf` makes so much sense. `man` pages are consistently incredible. The security/cryptography focus, managing services, pledge/unveil... so many things about it is just *chef's kiss*.
It's not and will probably never be a daily driver for me and it may not fit your use case for anything, but I highly recommend playing with it.
All of it is self hosted, models are Ollama Cloud and OpenRouter. You can throw dirt cheap models at a lot of these tasks and they perform very well. It’d be no effort at all to replace inference providers.

The article says by the end of the year. It's laughable.
Opus 5.5 scores 4% on it.
So the industry is responding, where it matters. Which is on heavy API usage, not coding subs.
Sun and proper sleep is certainly helpful for people with ADHD but the likelihood of them getting that is vastly increased if they’re medicated correctly.
On that note I’ve been subbing in MiMo-2.6-pro when cost is an issue, which is super cheap and also performing really well.
When people step over the line, tell them to fuck off. This is true in personal relationships and international relations alike. Sometimes there is more nuance but in situations like this it's clear that nothing else works.
