What do people think of Google's Gemini (Pro?) compared to Claude for code? I really like a lot of what Google produces, but they can't seem to keep a product that they don't shut down and they can be pretty ham-fisted, both with corporate control (Chrome and corrupt practices) and censorship

But realistically lots of RAG systems have LLM calls interleaved for various reasons, so what they probably mean it not doing the usual chunking + embeddings thing.

Please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News, and especially not putdowns. The idea here is: if you have a substantive point, make it thoughtfully. If not, please don't comment until you do. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I appreciate the vague negative takes on tools like this where it feels like there is so much hype it's impossible to have a different opinion. "It's bad" is perfectly substantiative in my opinion; this person tried it, didn't like it, and doesn't have much more to say because of that, but it's still a useful perspective. Is this why HN is so dang pro-AI? the negative comments, even small ones, are moderated away? ex…

Yes technically it is RAG, but a lot of the community is associating RAG with vector search specifically.
Either I'm worse than then at programming, to the point that I find an LLM useful and they don't, or they don't know how to use LLMs for coding.
It shocks me when people say that LLMs don't make them more productive, because my experience has been the complete opposite, especially with Claude Code. Either I'm worse than then at programming, to the point that I find an LLM useful and they don't, or they don't know how to use LLMs for coding.

I guess most people are not paying and cant therefore apply the project-space (which is one of the best features), which unleashes its full magic.
Even if I'm currently without a job, I'm still paying because it helps me.
