For developers using Qwen 27B for coding, Codex style: what's your honest take?
So far, for me, it's been pretty solid. Not always amazing, but honestly neither is GPT-5.5 sometimes. Considering the model size, it's kind of wild how capable it actually is.
That said, I'm still not sure whether I'd fully trust it enough to move away from the big players.
I'm giving it a few more days before I really decide where I stand, but I'd like to hear from other people using it for actual dev work.
Please, no one get defensive but I'm not interested in random showcase prompts like "make me a 3D game" pointless one-shot comparisons or mini projects.
I mean real day-to-day software engineering: debugging, refactoring, navigating codebases, building features, fixing broken stuff, architecture and so on.
