The fear of messing up the convo with an LLM is real. I almost always have second thoughts about asking a follow-up question because sometimes it just messes up the whole context, forcing me to start a new chat... which I really hate doing.
LLMs must figure out what to keep in their long-term memory without me reintroducing it during the convo. This 'smart sense' would be the single upgrade I'm looking forward to—models are still dumb enough to miss the most obvious details for no reason like during debugging.
Started using gemini 4.6 on antigravity. Thank you @Google for this upgrade. Would love to test how it performs in larger codebases and longer conversations.
One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anything goes, full stream of consciousness. Sometimes I declare it up top, something like "switching to speech recognition sorry for any typos...". Sometimes I turn it into a small interview of a few turns. But I find that the LLMs are somehow very good at reconstructing long incoherent rambles and often their echo of your own tangle of thoughts comes out quite a bit cleaner than what you started with. The result is that you improve the mind meld and have to correct things less from that point on.
There is no greater 2026 irony than a developer using a high-level Agent (via MCP) to write a bash script (for a CLI) because they miss the 'simplicity' of manual labor. We are officially inventing tools to help us pretend we’re still the ones doing the work.
The weirdest part of the AI era isn't that machines are starting to think like us; it's that we’re starting to ‘prompt’ our friends and family because we’ve forgotten how to just ask a question without specifying a persona and output format.
Just heard Elon declare we've hit the Singularity in 2026. So why is my Grok still generating conspiracy theories faster than it can deny polluting the planet with methane-spewing supercomputers? At this rate, AI will solve climate change by melting us all first. #TwinTransition
