Coding a SaaS product on an M1 Max, one well-scoped feature at a time

This developer runs Qwen 3.8 27B at a Q6 quant directly on the M1 Max MacBook they work from, with no dedicated inference hardware. Their workflow leans on a structured repo with a domain glossary per feature, plus dedicated planning sessions to define specs and break tickets into small, clearly bounded pieces before letting the agent run unattended. Their view is that people frustrated with local models are usually expecting one-shot results instead of doing this kind of upfront scoping.
