little-coder vs just Pi

A developer using Hermes for coding tasks is seeking a lighter alternative due to context size issues. They are considering "little-coder" (or "smallcoder"), which offers a small context and extensions tailored for models like qwen3.6 35b-a3b. However, they are also contemplating using "just Pi" with its barebones system prompt and tools, and are asking for opinions, tests, or experiences regarding these options.
