I love Gemini for general knowledge and think it far outperforms Claude for research, but personally I cannot use Gemini for programming due to:
1. it taking so long
2. it not giving any information about its thought process / what it's doing "in its head", whereas Claude code tells you what it's thinking and allows you to interrupt.
So for now, I would personally recommend dropping Gemini for the actual implementation of programming or anything involving analysis of your codebase.
I don't doubt that Google has smart people on this, and that this may improve in a few months' time.
But other ideas:
- all pages of FE site loaded at once instead as as needed
- FE indexed search engine
- bug rendering too many invisible HTML elements (eg 1M select boxes)
A more charitable explanation would be that they were under product pressure for more features and were never given the slack time to even explore this angle. Happens a lot.
Musicabc has some really nice JS and Obsidian plugins that essentially allow you to create little scrapbooks of musical ideas in markdown that are also playable as sound and viewable as sheet music.
Thanks for your comment. I've been lucky enough not to be hit by these scenarios yet. One thing that might help is that we encourage short-lived PRs (ideally 1 day, max 1 week) so divergences from master tend to be smaller.
N is not huge though - looking at our operations logs, I think we ran this script only about 35 times in 3 years.
Cool software! Does this support the formats needed for German bookkeeping? Accounting fees are astronomical here so there is pent-up demand for a decent solution I reckon.
I'm the CTO of MorphMarket.com. We are an online marketplace that connects breeders and keepers of lizards, geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders and other pets. Our users passionately love the least loved animals - e.g. here's our COO's TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@brittniszoo/video/706572491190134711...
We're looking for someone who has web design skills and ALSO enough front-end programming skills to help implement layout changes etc. into the site. The ideal candidate
- has a spider-sense for design inconsistencies (e.g. poor alignment, font mismatch etc.)
- is able to use _some_ tool to produce quick designs for feedback (we're agnostic about which one: it could be Figma/Sketch/PhotoShop/some random WireFraming tool)
- can write and debug CSS to help us implement the design into our codebase -- and also knows enough React to help move things around.
- can help our team identify our canonical UX components and our visual language and spearhead a project to produce a design inventory to help the team coordinate better on design in the future
- has opinions about what makes a good UX and notices good patterns on other websites and apps
Work culture:
- Mostly async and written communication. Our team is distributed across Europe, Asia, and USA. We don't have common working hours, but you will need to find a way to sync up for perhaps 2 hours per day with colleagues for communications.
- Emphasis on learning and team education (e.g. here's my own YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@semicolonsons) I try to keep things fun and engaging for the team.
- About 15 people on the product team and perhaps 10 staff in other roles.
- Friendly and social on Slack
- We devote every Friday to tech debt / sharpening the saw
So for now, I would personally recommend dropping Gemini for the actual implementation of programming or anything involving analysis of your codebase.
