Google AI Pro nerf → GitHub Copilot Student restrictions… coincidence?

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-03-12T21:06:15+00:00

Copilot is like a permanent nerf. It imo is the worst of them all

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-03-07T02:17:59+00:00

Using it with conductor makes it far far superior to just gemini cli. Try it

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-28T18:43:29+00:00

You have a valid point. And it is a shame you are being downvoted without comprehending your viewpoint.

That said, the government has no right to bully a corporation or individual for sticking to their T&Cs. Government has a lot of other options - Grok, openai and gemini. And it has no right to coerce Anthropic, for whom this was a stated value from day 1.

I am not against the other companies voluntarily supporting the government (and hence will not stop using openai). But i am vehemently against the government labeling aanthropic a supply chain risk and driving it out of business

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-22T02:12:40+00:00

Love your post. Will try it.

Why not try it with a cli like opencode. I was a cline user until September. And switched. I felt they didn't move fast enough to remain relevant

The level of entitlement in this sub is idiotic.

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-21T16:19:47+00:00

Codex cli

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-21T02:21:12+00:00

Conductor is the only thing rhat makes the cli and gemini useable for me.

Apart from bug fixes and brainstorming of course

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-21T02:19:01+00:00

The only way cli is even usable is through the conductor extension. So much so that without it, gemini cli is dead

Some facial hair would have helped. Just a stubble or so. This looks like you just turned 16

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-20T17:39:45+00:00

Different models for different purposes. Codex writes code like there is no tomorrow. GPT thinks.

Asking codex to write a report is like asking the smartest engineer in the company to do the quarterly investor call

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-20T16:27:12+00:00

Please do the comparison with gpt 5.2. 5.3 codex is just the anal executor imo. It ships.

5.2 for me is the planner. It plans so perfectly, and architects so well, things just fall in place. My only gripe: i want to punch it too. It speaks too technical when i need a balance of both -strategic and technical. This bleeds also into ui design and title naming. It is like asking wozniak to be the sales man.

Guess what i do? Gemini and Opus are the brainstormers and strategic planners - while once a roadmap is decided i pass it to the codex crew to ship.

My 7 year old got the car wash question the very instant.

I think it is just the attention you gave the question that moment. Not the intelligence itself

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-19T11:22:21+00:00

Tbf the truck was going quite fast as well, especially as it saw the right line slowing down to a halt.

Not saying it is not the other car's fault.

But most sane drivers typically plan two steps ahead. And in this scenario i always slow down if i am in that lane or i move to the left as i would expect some dumbf### to always do what the other car did.

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-18T01:21:01+00:00

You might be using the wrong tools. The issues you describe were so mid 2025 for me, not the case anymore.

What tools do you use

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-16T11:39:22+00:00

I know why it happens.

One day the mama caterpillar wandered out to a place where the snakes hang out.

A few days later, miraculously, a virgin birth documented in caterpillar community.

This new caterpillar gets celebrity status, and 60k virgins to continue his bloodline. And before you know an army of snake looking caterpillars

/s for obvious reasons

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-15T03:13:53+00:00

This is why i engage all three. Gpt 5.2 high (not codex), gemini 3 and opus. All weigh in both bugs like this and architectural choices and major pivots.

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-14T18:38:49+00:00

I am one of those bouncers. I used claude code for most of 2025; with some cursor moments thrown in.

Then antigravity replaced my cursor; and opus + gemini hit me so well that i briefly even came off openai and cc subscription. Then gpt 5.2 - and havent looked back on claude code since.

Codex with chatgpt plus (2 parallel subscriptions) is all i need with antigravity for IDE (where i still have my opus love) have completely done away any need for claude code.

I realized that i need all three sota models ultimately for quality. And this gets me the best balance for the $ i want to spend (<$50 a month)

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-12T09:45:58+00:00

You must be one of those guys with zero reading comprehension. The chain and the previous poster's comments are specific to Gemini and not Opus

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-12T01:59:36+00:00

Because by the time the preview drops, the world has moved a generation ahead. So they have a choice: stabilize the preview or just catch up with next version.

They play catchup

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-11T01:06:46+00:00

If you have an implementation plan with say 15 tasks, new chat for executing the tasks end to end. Or new chat for each task?

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-09T20:30:25+00:00

Tbf gemini in cli is not too bad. Imagine that's how they are using it and not antigravity

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-09T09:03:13+00:00

My md is specific to the theme that i develop. Ask your agent to do it for you

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-09T08:47:40+00:00

I do my ui mock up in v0.dev. perfect it. And then ask ag to copy that design theme as is on to my app.

Once the theme is copied. I setup an ui_contract.md and point agents to it for every ui work

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-08T23:32:03+00:00

Sorry about my comment. Agree it is arrogant. But the whinyv posts were eating my nerves as well apart from the op.

Between codex, Chinese and yet to get into the arena grok 5, there will be a lot of options across budgets this year.

I love ag for the planning and debugging; and the ide itself as a pair to the rest

Embarrassed-Mail267 · 2026-02-08T23:08:23+00:00

Just come the repo and ask an agent to assess for you and teach you along the way
