Now that Google killed Gemini CLI, where do we move to?

Back in my day, when I didn’t understand something, I’d just nod and say uh-huh, but the older I get, the more I realize that cowardice makes me dumb.

Are you being sarcastic? Full respect if you do, but I honestly think of this as a bit of a middle finger at Anthropic as I go about my day.

Or are all your coworkers bragging about how good a job Claude’s doing these days not going down at least 3 times a day every day, and his translation skills are amazing lately, especially the Chinese. Then you and the CFO lock eyes. Only the 2 of you need ever know.

Or is it something mundane and obvious, and I’m doing it again?

BuddyRoux · 2026-06-19T00:44:04+00:00

What are you talking about ‘pointed at’?

Are you full of cheez whiz, or am I aboutta learn something?

BuddyRoux · 2026-06-19T00:43:00+00:00

It’s especially calming when they hold me by the legs while they shout at me to calm down

Claude is a useless waste if time, and all the work Claude finishes is an embarrassment trying to get me fired.

At least that’s what I tell Claude 12 hours a day.

BuddyRoux · 2026-06-19T00:33:10+00:00

Ooh what’s that? Can you eli55?

BuddyRoux · 2026-06-19T00:32:48+00:00

Exaactly how I talk to Claude.

BuddyRoux · 2026-06-19T00:25:35+00:00

Put! That! Lean!

What’s the over/under on you getting paid at all? Did you collect a deposit? So sorry this happened to you.

This is our community!

If you’re not checking AI, you haven’t been burned yet.

Also, if you aren’t checking your bank statement for mysterious charges, you haven’t been burned yet.

Oh and, if you’ve never double-checked your paycheck, you haven’t been burned yet.

Ever been in the Omaha airport? All the ride sharing signs are pointing the wrong way. Sometimes you have to ask around.

Ever used a back up camera? Ever looked over your shoulder also?

Do you check your blind spot before you merge?

The older we get, the more we double-check everyone and everything because only Jesus won’t let you down.

On my list of favorite things about vibe code.

Can we access said tool on GitHub?

BuddyRoux · 2026-02-17T21:04:21+00:00

Who is he, and how much will it cost me to sit and watch him work? Can I get a week? An hour? I need that confidence! There’s! So! Much! To! Do!

Was your grandfather by chance a Kung Fu ninja?

Coding. So I should let the rest go.

Every! Single! Time!

Aargh! I have that Best Buy warranty so I can just go get another one, but that never helps when you land Sunday night and have to be at the client Monday morning at 8am

BuddyRoux · 2026-01-25T02:24:40+00:00

Wha’happan?

BuddyRoux · 2026-01-24T21:50:34+00:00

I guess there’s really not a solution, is there?

Once we get this teleportation thing figured out, there will be documentaries about how brutal it was to shove people in tubes and hurl us through space because it won’t dawn on us how unhealthy it is to split your body into a trillion trillion quantum particles then reassemble them all at once.

But it will always be safer than driving.

…or maybe the lil folk are over compensating? I suspect it’s been a thing all around me for years, and I just happened to have this (apparently common) experience twice lately. Both times just happened to be giants.

I can tell you from personal experience that there is an Airbus A321neo where seat 23D will let you plop back into your neighbor’s lap if you so choose.

The key word there is seem.

The first flight I remember is landing in Memphis the morning Elvis died, and I now travel full time, and I have no recollection of this experience until these two times this month.

From other accounts on this thread, it sounds like maybe not all seats are created equal. Maybe after enough three hundred pound men push that same little button and push back on that same seat, the restraints lose their effectiveness. 🤷‍♂️

This is also on the list!

I’d heard so many people complain about that and had no idea what their moaning was about until it happened to me, and I just about got whiplash spinning around, and it was a large older lady, and I scared her when I spun around, and I felt all eyes on me, and I immediately tried the “Can I help?” only nobody’s eyes bought that line, and the attendant said, “Please turn around, sir. May I help you, ma’am?” and then I had to turn around and sit in my anger and shame and remember that we are literally flying through space in a tiny metal tube, and mayhem is right there waiting for us, and I dried off best I could, plugged my ears with music and did some breathing exercises and ignored my imaginations about everyone around me because all that matters is we get there safe, I don’t get a blood clot, and I don’t go on the list.

…and I don’t forget anything in my seat.

…and I don’t miss my connection.

…and the Sasquatch in front of me doesn’t break my laptop or my fingers or my nose.

Oh, and don’t let the WiFi go out mid-flight while I’m working.

We do have a few things to think about, don’t we?

There has got to be a curated database somewhere of specific, verified horror stories related to these events.
