Holy cow!

My latest try with Gemini went like this:

  - Write me a simple todo app on CloudFlare with auth0 authentication.
  - Let's proceed with a simple todo app on CloudFlare. We start by importing the @auth0-cloudflare and...
  - Does that @auth0-cloudflare actually exists?
  - Oh, it doesn't. I can give you a walkthrough on how to set up an account on auth0. Would you like me to?
  - Yes, please.
  - Here. I'm going to write the walkthrough in a document... (proceed to create an empty document)
  - That seems to be an empty document.
  - Oh, my bad. I'll produce it once more. (proceed to create another empty document)
  - Seems like you're md parsing library is broken, can you write it in chat instead?
  - Yes... (Your Gemini trial has expired. Would you like to pay $100 to continue?)

My idea was to try the new model with a low hanging fruit - as kentov mentioned, it's a very basic task that has been made thousand of times on the internet with extremely well documented APIs (officially and on reddit/stackoverflow/etc.).

Sure, it was a short hike before my trial expired, and kentov himself admited it took him couple of days to put it together, but... holy cow.
