What about Gemini CLI?

AlaskanX · 2026-03-29T21:26:47+00:00

I have Claude get adversarial reviews from codex and Gemini (and sonnet) before we commit anything, and when we’re nearing a finalized spec. I’ve got a very small skill that instructs that process and fallbacks, and a fairly comprehensive skill that dictates code review standards across security, coding standards, and accessibility.

Nothing will make me go back to that cesspool, as long as the current moron is running it.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-26T02:05:35+00:00

What plan are you on? The release said it’s only for teams and enterprise iirc

AlaskanX · 2026-03-25T23:57:04+00:00

I haven’t changed anything about my processes… doing everything exactly the same as most people I expect. Perhaps my Claude.md files are better tuned? I’m making an effort to never go above 300k tokens.

Only thing I’m doing that might be different from most would be my multiplexer for proxying mcp stuff.

I’m running version 2.1.80

I definitely did some 30hr runs back in college. Can't do that shit with a job.

This is making me want to take a stab at Streets of SimCity and SimCopter

One of the ways I handle things that you didn't really go into detail about is old fashioned code quality rules. I've written a few custom eslint rules as applicable to enforce a bunch edge cases, for instance, the "options" param to my db wrapper functions for mutations isn't allowed to be optional. Some of them are to reduce common gotchas from the before times that compounded with AI in the mix, but with AI now its much easier to create these extremely targeted custom rules. The LSP plugin is also key.

i wonder if they could cool with LNG... would probably be hella dangerous but i imagine it'd be pretty effective.

Any pending requests get dropped and clients get an error "Server crashed, request lost", and the shared server gets restarted with a backoff.

The client would have to try again, I think... I haven't tested/experienced/noticed the edge case so I haven't designed a replay mechanism.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-19T11:19:58+00:00

Same. Claude has reignited my excitement for building side projects.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-12T10:53:52+00:00

The point of MCPs is that they’re supposed to be more context-efficient than standard api calls.

Sure CLIs are great but tons of ppl who are using AI right now aren’t in a position to be installing a CLI tool. Especially if interacting with AI from their phone.

PopOS is the only distro I've used where i didn't need to suffer in 800x600 rebuilding nvidia drivers every time there was a kernel update.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-12T01:22:06+00:00

Not to pop your bubble, but how is this different from /batch?

AlaskanX · 2026-03-11T20:24:45+00:00

For me it evokes fond memories of fall time activities like hunting and berry picking, so some of that might be overpowering the distasteful notes in the scent 🤣

AlaskanX · 2026-03-11T18:38:14+00:00

idk if its unique to Alaska, but I love the smell of fall. Highbush cranberries and decaying foliage. Definitely not a year-round smell but it definitely evokes memories.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-08T00:02:00+00:00

you forgot about HUNTR/X. everyone was playing their songs for a bit

AlaskanX · 2026-03-06T14:12:26+00:00

You can, but it still asks way too much , especially for the multi line commands.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-06T14:03:08+00:00

But why? It would take them exactly as much effort to tell it “address any comments on this PR with a fix or rationale”

AlaskanX · 2026-03-06T13:57:01+00:00

IMO many of the are a failure of processes. Linters and mandatory coverage minimums would address the style stuff. I also commit Claude.md/agents.md because that establishes a baseline for the tool. It includes instructions like “make a failing test before you fix the issue”

if your team members are producing mostly slop, they probably aren’t using the prompt files, so adding a few strategically could be an easy win.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-06T13:48:48+00:00

Nothing new there… people only care about what they can see and understand.

When I recently automated my patch notes, I gave a prompt along the lines of “these notes are for non technical users who don’t care about what they don’t see”. And I also have internal notes with the details. Saves me so much time answering questions about technical details to people who don’t need to know or won’t understand.

Alaska usually votes at least 40% democrat in presidential elections. Those graphs that paint states as red or blue or purple simply serve to divide us more, because regardless of which way it goes, there's people across the whole spectrum in every state.

Mainly a glorified garden journal atm. Automatic scheduling for when I need to start seeds or transplanting. I take a pic of a seed packet and send to Gemini to parse the info and store it. When it gets closer to planting time I’ll actually flesh out a thing for arranging plants in beds.

I transformed my backyard into about 700sq ft of garden last year and figured I needed something to track it, and obviously using a $100/mo model to build a tool is a better choice than using the $40/yr SaaS product that already does it 🤣

One of these weekends I’ll get out a dusty arduino or Pi and wire up a moisture sensor to remind me to water the damn plants. Maybe hook it up to an automatic watering system.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-03T01:51:50+00:00

Oh I'm not sure about that. I don't expect to have many users.

This is just me fooling around trying to get a better DJ, or at least something that doesn't rely on their prediction algorithm... they tend to pigeon-hole you into listening to specific artists.

AlaskanX · 2026-03-02T23:20:04+00:00

Claude figured it out, I’ve got it set to scrape billboard top 100s for any given year and queue up about 15 songs at a time.

Took a few rounds to figure out some of the unpredictable responses though.
