I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I ask gemini 2.5 for code it outputs SO MANY comments. An exaggerated amount of comments. Sections comments, step comments, block comments, inline comments, all the gang.

#12>Best-in-class frontend web development It really is wild to have seen this happen over the last year. The days of traditional "design-to-code" FE work are completely over. I haven't written a line of HTML/CSS in months. If you are still doing this stuff by hand, you need to adapt fast. In conjunction with an agentic coding IDE and a few MCP tools, weeks worth of UI work are now done in hours to a higher level of qua…
i'm surprised by no line of css html in months. maybe it's an exageration and that's okay.
However, just today i was building a website for fun with gemini and had to manually fix some issues with css that he struggled with. as it often happens, trying to let it repair the damage only made it go into a pit of despair (for me). i fixed the issues in about a glance and 5 minutes. This is not to say it's bad, but sometimes it still makes absurd mistakes and can't find a way to solve them

And comments are bad? I mean you could tell it to not comment the code or to self-document with naming instead of inline comments, its a LLM it does what you tell it to

Ask it to do less of it, problem solved, no? With tools like Cursor it's become really easy to fit the models to the shoe, or the shoe to the foot.

You can ask to not use comments or use less comments, you can put this in the system prompt too.

#17Usually don’t believe the benchmarks but first in web dev arena specifically is crazy. That one has been Claude for so long, which tracks in my experience
Give Gemini a shot. It is genuinely very good.
Re: Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview
#18My frustration with using these models for programming in the past has largely been around their tendency to hallucinate APIs that simply don't exist. The Gemini 2.5 models, both pro and flash, seem significantly less susceptible to this than any other model I've tried.
There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person does. But I'm finding that these Gemini models are finally able to replace searches and stackoverflow for a lot of my day-to-day programming.

#19This is much bigger news than OpenAI's acquisition of WindSurf.

You need LLM Ops. YC happens to have invested in Langfuse, which is if you're serious about tracking metrics, you'll appreciate the rest, too.
And before you ask: yes, for cached content and batch completion discounts you can accommodate both—just needs a bit of logic in your completion-layer code.
