Local coding for a homelab app, with ChatGPT as the second reviewer

This person is building a homelab helper app using Qwen3-Coder running on a MacBook Pro through Cline in VS Code. They lean on a paid ChatGPT Plus subscription to help draft the prompts they feed Cline and to review the code once it's done, saying that second pass catches mistakes the local model makes on its own. A few days in, they already have a barebones version of the app running, alongside a roadmap they built out to 2028 with the same two-model combination.
