See, that makes it sound better in my world: I'm doing all 'manually implement' all the time, and have no interest in becoming the ten millionth manager to hit the software dev landscape. It boggles my mind that people think this is a win.

I regularly use a pocket calculator: either a physical one, or Apple's Calculator app if I want more decimal places. 'Too stupid' isn't a thing for me if it can cough up some math that would be inconvenient for me to work out by hand. tok/s also isn't a concern because I'm not expecting more than I can read. My ideal scenario would be occasional diversions into querying a 'coding calculator' that can give examples along the lines I want, my way.

I'll make a mental note that Qwen shows signs of being the kind of calculator I'd use for a specific task. Context switching isn't a burden if you're not looking to switch over to vibe/manage and stay there.
