It's all smokes really. Claude Code is an unreliable piece of software and yet one of the better ones in LLM-Coding. (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues). That and I highly suspect it's mostly engineers who are working on it instead of LLMs. Google itself with all its resources and engineers can't come up with a half-decent CLI for coding.
Reminder: The guy works for Claude. Claude is over-hyping LLMs. That's like a Jeweler dealer assistant telling you how Gold chains helped his romantic life.
Gemini CLI is decent.
Is it?
Yesterday, gemini told me to run this:
Which would have effectively overriden my whole bashrc config if I had blindly copy-pasted it.
A few minutes later, asking it to create a .gitignore file for the current project - right after generating a private key, it failed to include the private key file to the .gitignore.
I don't see yet how these tools can be labeled as 'major productivity boosters' if you loose basic security and privacy with them...
We were discussing the CLI, the output that's on the model.
