I gave it a fair shot. It is a vs code fork. There were some UI glitches. Some usability was better. Cursor has some real annoying usability issues - like their previous/next code change never going away and no way to disable it. Design of this one looks more polished and less muddy. I was working on a project and just continued with it. It was easy because they import setting from cursor. Feels like the browser wars…

The first patch release (released on launch day) says: "Messaging to distinguish particular users hitting their user quota limit from all users hitting the global capacity limits." So, collectively we're hitting the quota, its not just your quota. (One would think Google might know how to scale their services on launch day...) The Documentation ( https://antigravity.google/docs/plans ) claims that "Our modeling sugge…

Depending on which shared GCP project you get assigned to, mine had a global 300 million tokens per minute quota that was being hit regularly.

The agentic spam is exhausting. I just wanted to code. Too early in my career to not give a shit and retire, but too late be excited about these things and eager to learn. What a time...

It's never too early to retire, there are plenty of other things to work on outside of tech

> Cross-surface Agents

Nice that it's built-in, Claude Code needs an MCP for this at least.

> User Feedback: Intuitively integrate feedback across surfaces and artifacts to guide and refine the agent’s work.

I wish they'd just let me edit the implementation plan directly instead of me having to explain the corrections. Claude Code has the same weakness. Explaining the corrections is slower than editing the plan manually, and it still keeps the incorrect text in context as well.

> An Agent-First Experience: Manage multiple agents at the same time

Sounds nice in theory but I assume you can run multiple agents for 5 minutes or so and then you're out of credits.

As a claude code user I'm not really sold on this product.

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

There are many more truck drivers than buggy drivers

Buggy drivers are adapted to racing conditions better than truck ones.

Should read

I have lamented the fact that download buttons can be hard to find on software home pages sometimes. But having just a download button and a "more" button on your landing page seems to be taking things a bit too far.

> I complained to it that I had only made one image. It decided to make me one more! What?! So was it only hallucinating that you were out of credits the first time?

More likely the credits system runs on eventual consistency, and he hit a different backend.

Don't think so, I expect that system to use Spanner, so my best guess is that the user generated an image at the end of the credit reset window (which is around noon EST).

So I start using it for my project and after about 20 mins - oh, no. Out of credits. I didn't even get to try a single Gemini 3 prompt. I was out of credits before my first had completed. I guess I've burned through the free tier in some other app but the error message gave me no clues. As far as I can tell there's no link to give Google my money in the app. Maybe they think they have enough. After switching to gpt-o…

I logged into Gemini yesterday for the first time in ages. Made one image and then it said I was out of credits. I complained to it that I had only made one image. It decided to make me one more! Then told me I was out of credits again.

What a time to be alive

Slightly off-topic, but I really hate this trend that now every developer / researcher / engineer also needs to be an actor (typically cringy one) pretending to be quirky for the camera while trying to act unnaturally excited about the technology. I really miss the days of the professional casualness and naturalness of something like the "mother of all demos" [0]. Like, can you imagine the guy wearing a turtleneck an…

Someone decided that the audience of standup comedy overlaps with tech meetup one 100%.

Jokes aside though, it's much broader than that, it's just that the zeitgeist dictates that everyone shifts from work to meta-work: musicians must impress not with their music but the way they make music, researchers must entertain, developers must manage agents, children watch someone else play games instead of playing themselves.

That's yet another increment to the already dizzying level of simulation per Jean Baudrillard.
