This is now the best session I've had with my custom #ai coding agent setup

I'm seriously impressed, this was days of work and iterations handled in $10 over about an hour

Used gemini-3-pro for this one because I knew that extra high-level, abstract reasoning was needed over daily coding task doer

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

For all you CLI lovers out there, the work to make my agentic framework available at the command line has begun.

It should also be helpful for developing said framework and integration of the agentic and environment submodules
