> Spin up agents to tackle routine tasks that take you out of your flow, such as codebase research, bug fixes, and backlog tasks.

The software of the future, where nobody on staff knows how anything is built, no one understands why anything breaks, and cruft multiplies exponentially.

But at least we're not taken out of our flow!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Few horse racers became automobile racers. If existing engineers don't change it doesn't matter because new engineers will take their place.

Horse racing didn’t go away and there are more people who race horses professionally than who race cars.

Horses also run faster than pictures of cars

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have absolutely 0 idea why any developer would rely on any IDE produced by google. It'll be canned within 5 years max, with 3-4 seeming like a reasonable estimate of the lifespan of the product I've been using my current IDE for 17 years, and plan to continue using it for at least another 15

Which is is, vi or emacs?

It will be very funny if it's vim, since Bram Moolenaar who created and ran it worked at Google from 2006 to 2021.

On the pricing page it says that for public preview they are offering a free individual plan with "generous rate limits". I gave it an HTML file and asked it to create Jinja templates from it and 2 minutes later (still planning, no additional prompt) I got this: > Model quota limit exceeded. You have reached the quota limit for this model.

> html

Would be willing to bet this is the issue. Adding html files to context for gemini models results in a ton of token use.

Why is google so bad at product branding and strategy? My complaint is aesthetic: why would you name your product a five-syllable word??

Its clearly a reference to the xkcd comic which does have mindshare.

Thank you for the demonstrating the reasoning that leads to these decisions.
