I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

We've released Gemini CLI extensions for querying PostgreSQL and MySQL with natural language.

If you're interested, take them for a spin! Oh and we'd appreciate any feedback you'd be willing to share 👇

mostly manual context building (with help of Claude Code or claude.ai) and then keeping track of changes / decisions in a file plus maintaining some sort of quick reference index file about the project (which component does what and where). Those frameworks felt a bit too strict for my cases

Yup. Claude coded a complete DuckDB Extension for me during my lunchbreak with the help of three MCP servers and a handful prompts… Crazy.

At this point, ignoring agentic coding tools is like refusing to use Git because you prefer manually tracking file versions in folders named 'final_v2_ACTUAL_final'

Yes! Also, research tasks in chatgpt or Claude.ai to generate use case specific docs

Prototyping with Claude Sonnet 4.5 is incredible 🧑‍🎨

Compacting a Claude session early can be like feeding a sourdough starter - discard the old stuff, keep the good parts, watch it rise again 🍞✨

Was just thinking today, that I need something which prompts me every now and then to quickly write (dictate) some summary / notes 😅

I'm a markdown junkie now thanks to Claude Code - been doing tons of code analysis lately. But viewing them in the terminal sucks - luckily @thieso2.bsky.social built www.npmjs.com/package/more... - a handy tool to serve your directory and navigate/search md files - with Mermaid rendering! 🎉🚀

And that's a wrap on Gemini CLI's 3-day drop! What started as 3 days got a little bigger 😉

Huge thanks to everyone who followed along!
