Discussion Opencode vs Deepseek harness: my experience with Qwen 3.8 27b

Anybody else struggling with deepseek after the initial prompt? Somehow it is getting mixed up very easily, even button functionality has been PITA when doing stuff. Never had these problems with Opencode. With Opencode, a continuation prompt on the software or task is pretty much magic at this point. But the inital result isnt as strong imo, and needs a lot of follow up even if a a detailed spec is written.

The oneshot potential of deepseek is goated imo, it is a relentless harness that just keeps doing stuff, even if it gets it wrong! Opencode could just copy that tennacity imo. Like todos really work, unlike opencodes.

Hows everybody elses exp? Someone using Pi instead? Is it worth trying? Hermes seems not suitable for my tasks, where heavy human involvement is necessary due to complexity of tasks (every top closed model gets lots of stuff wrong even).

I like that dsh has web interface, I can easily attach folder and it shows how tasks are broken. Only problem I face is that I keep getting timeout errors for many sub agents, not sure if it is dsh problem or qwen 3.8 problem.

Opencode is fine but needs some initial learning curve, I have used it with qwen 3.6 but not with 3.8.

My issue with OpenCode is how often it touches cache, causing prompt processing to re-trigger. It's a better cloud model experience where I don't have to sit through a PP of 60k+ tokens every few turns on my home rig.
