Is anyone here using using these models via google subscription (not api). I tried to in the past using gemini cli and then agy - headless invoked by codex and claude code, but they were so incredibly buggy that it stalled 1/2 times and I cancelled. Interested to know if that has changed!
Common names also seem retypeable, which is usually a bad idea because it is error prone, especially in certain fonts. Random jumbles make retyping untenable, so copy-paste is used, which can't make the same mistakes, but is still vulnerable to operator error with incomplete copies.
Use the AI to teach you. I’m similar not full coder, although tinkered since I started in early 2000’s with html in notepad :)
I made a /teach-me slash-command.
Everytime I run into something I want to know about I run it. It launches a background subagent (forking context) that check (and updates) my ‘learning-profile.md’. I can pass additional requests, but otherwise it just deduces from context.
It then creates an explainer/lesson. And sends it to my kindle (using a custom created mcp) - so I can read it offline. Not breaking my flow.
I’ve never learned so much so quickly, about everything. It’s awesome.
I use the same mcp from phone apps. Everytime I want to learn something I just ask.
Also: learn about the GIT concepts (not commands). You’ll learn much quicker when you can mess up and retry ;)
I am not a developer. Could you explain the process in a bit more detail? I want to build the same command. I only have the $20 subscription for Claude. Do I need to create a project and create a learning profile.md file and feed what I already know? And then what do I do?
Hi HN! Would love any feedback or suggestions. I'm still iterating on it :)
I'm considering creating a Chrome extension when the need is there. Thanks for checking it out!
