A lot it seems to mirror syntax of Claude Code Integration with Google Docs/Spreadsheets/Drive seems interesting but it seems to be via MCP so nothing exclusive/native to Gemini CLI I presume?

There seems to be an awful many "could" and "might" in that part. Given how awfully limited the Gemini integration inside Google Docs is, it's an area that's just made me feel Google is executing really slowly on this.

agentic coding seems like its not the top priority but more at capturing the search engine users which is understandable.

still i had high hopes for gemini 3.0 but was let down by the benchmarks i can barely use it in cli however in ai studio its been pretty valuable but not without quirks and bugs

lately it seems like all the agentic coders like claude, codex are starting to converge and differentiated only by latency and overall cli UX and usage.

i would like to use gemini cli more even grok if it was possible to use it like codex

I have never had a luck with using Gemini. I had a pretty good app create with CODEX. Due to the hype I thought let me give Gemini a try. I asked it find all way to improve security and architecture / design. sure enough it gave a me a list of components etc that didn’t match best patterns and practices. So I let it refactor the code.

It Fucked up the entire repot. It hard coded tenant ids and used ids, it completely destroyed my UI. Broke my entire grpahql integration. Set me back 2 weeks of work.

I do admit the browse version of Gemini chat does much better job at providing architecture and design guidance time to time.

Why is this AI generated slop so highly upvoted?

Even thought the doc _might_ be AI generated, that repo is Addy Osmani's.

Of Addy Osmani fame.

I seriously doubt he went to Gemini and told it "Give me a list of 30 identifiable issues when agentic coding, and tips to solve them".
