   @IPngNetworks @jahanson Yep, Claude is... hmm. I prefer local models like Llama4-Scout, Qwen3 (huge context window), Gemma3, and IBM's GraniteCode 3.

   some of those can be run for free on the Cerebras cloud cluster: https://inference.cerebras.ai

     @jahanson because it doesn’t work very well. Claude is not writing idiomatic Go, and it made a few gnarly mistakes which it struggled to recover from.

     In the implementation, it introduced two bugs that I could see. For today’s session, it took me more prompting and wall clock time to make it succeed than I would have liked.

     So yes: IF it works WELL, why not :)

     I'm not convinced, but I think Claude understands Go better than I do. If prompted step by step, it managed to create a working Go SNMP AgentX that polls VPP interface stats every N seconds and registers them with the IF-MIB.

     Hmm, curiously entertaining.
