Background & analysis
On November 7, 2026, a developer posted on DEV Community's AI section about Build Buddy, a small .NET tool being built during MLH Global Hack Week: Builders Week (November 6–12). Build Buddy runs dotnet build, parses every compiler error line formatted as CS####, reads a few lines of source code around each error, and then asks a local model to explain the error and provide a corrected version of the file. The local model in question is Gemma 3 4B, served through Ollama with the temperature set to 0. The developer stresses that nothing in the process leaves the laptop. The tool also offers a --verify mode: when enabled, it copies the project to a temporary folder, applies the suggested fix, and recompiles. Only if the patched project rebuilds successfully does the sample count as genuinely fixed.
