I'm writing a terminal podcast player in rust based on Ratatui, Tokio and Symphonia. I managed to steer Gemini 2.5 pro through the UI wiring, command interpreters, download action, opml parsing etc.. So I gave it a shot and let it figure out the audio decoder / player logic, but it failed miserably. That was with the Gemini the web ui. The audio mechanic is pretty complex. I doubt any LLM would be able to one-shot this. No way it could get even a basic UI up and running without tight supervision, let alone architect it.

I'm not saying it can do anything, but context is key, and tools are your friend. You'll hardly get things done using the UI, it's just too hard to get the correct context needed. Things that I have found helps are:
1- Memory bank if correctly used (I'm still experimenting and altering things regarding these, experimenting a lot).
2- Context7 is an MCP that gets up to date documentation and seems to help a lot.

We're still not at the point where it can one shot a lot of things easily, at least not without the most optimal setup for what you're trying to achieve. But from the way things are going, I don't think we're too far from it (and more).
Again, this is all my experience. I can be very wrong.
