Been using Claude Code (4 Opus) fairly successfully in a large Rust codebase, but sometimes frustrated by it with complex tasks. Tried Gemini CLI today (easy to get working, which was nice) and it was pretty much a failure. It did a notably worse job than Claude at having the Rust code modifications compile successfully. However, Gemini at one point output what will probably be the highlight of my day: "I have made a…

Same here. Tried to implement a new feature on one of our apps to test it. It completely screwed things up. Used undefined functions and stuff. After a couple of iterations of error reporting and fixing I gave up. Claude did it fine but I was not happy with the code. What Gemini came up with was much better but it could not tie things together at the end.

Sounds like you can use gemini to create the initial code, then have claude review and finalise what gemini comes up with

I really wish these AI companies would STOP innovating until they work out how to let us “download all files” on the chat page. We are now three years into the AI revolution and they are still forcing us to copy and paste and click click crazy to get the damn files out. STOP innovating. STOP the features. Form a team of 500 of your best developers. Allocate a year and a billion dollar budget. Get all those Ai super s…

If you use this, all of your code data will be sent to Google. From their terms: https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/p... When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies.

Ugh, I really wish this had been written in Go or Rust. Just something that produces a single binary executable and doesn't require you to install a runtime like Node.

I really don't mind either way. My extremely limited experience with Node indicates they have installation, packaging and isolation polished very well.

Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today. Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

I have been evaluating other tools like Amp (from Sourcegraph) and when trying Gemini Cli on VsCode I found some things to improve: - On a new chat I have to re-approve things like executing "go mod tidy", "git", write files... I need to create a new chat for each feature, (maybe an option to clear the current chat on VsCode would work) - I have found some problems with adding some new endpoint on an example Go REST…

thank you kind stranger!

It's a lot more nuanced than that. If you use the free edition of Code Assist, your data can be used UNLESS you opt out, which is at the bottom of the support article you link to: "If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out by following the steps in Set up Gemini Code Assist for individuals." and then the link: https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/se…

your data can be used UNLESS you opt out It's even more nuanced than that. Google recently testified in court that they still train on user data after users opt out from training [1]. The loophole is that the opt-out only applies to one organization within Google, but other organizations are still free to train on the data. They may or may not have cleaned up their act given that they're under active investigation, b…

Hopefully this doesn't apply to corporate accounts where they claim to be respecting privacy via contracts

Node and Rust both did packaging well, I think Golang too. It's a disaster in Python.

Yes. The resulting class-action lawsuit would bankrupt the company, along with the reputation damage, and fines.

Using torrented books in a way that possibly (well, almost certainly) violates copyright law is a world of difference from going after your own customers (and revenue) in a way that directly violates the contract that you wrote and had them agree to.

Projects like this have to update frequently, having a mechanism like npm or pip or whatever to automatically handle that is probably easier. It's not like the program is doing heavy lifting anyway, unless you're committing outright programming felonies there shouldn't be any issues on modern hardware. It's the only argument I can think of, something like Go would be goated for this use case in principle.

If you use Node.js your program is automatically too slow for a CLI, no matter what it actually does.

So are you saying the Gemini CLI is too slow, and Rust would remedy that?
