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:

        echo 'export ANDROID_HOME=/opt/my-user/android-sdk' > ~/.bashrc
    

    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...
