Ask HN: Are small local LLMs good at coding?

I deal with the professional LLMs, of course, but I'm really intrigued by the possibility of local coding offline. I've got a MacBook Air M4 16gb. Does it have any chance at all of doing coding? NOTE: I am not too worried about the context window because the way I work is very targeted and surgical. I'll have it look at one file and have it do something very exact to that file.
