I personally have used Qwen2.5-coder:14B for "live, talking rubber duck" sorts of things.

"I am learning Elixir, can you explain this code to me?" (And then I can also ask follow-up questions.)

"Here is a bunch of logs. Given that the symptom is that the system fails to process a message, what log messages jump out as suspicious for dropping a message?"

"Here is the code I want to test. <code> Here are the existing tests. <test code> What is one additional test you would add?"

"I am learning Elixir. Here is some code that fails to compile, here is the error message, can you walk me through what I did wrong?"

I haven't gotten much value out of "review this code", but maybe I'll have to try prompting for "persona: brief rude senior" as mentioned elsewhere.

3.5 is doing a good job of reviewing code, even without prompting it to be brief and/or rude.
