New website and a blog post after a very very long time!
Blog on `How to setup a VPN connection between AWS and Alicloud using Terraform`

@Raytar Are you serious? I have literally been coding from my phone using codex for about 3 months now! I don't know why everyone is freaking out about this!

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@LyalinDotCom @OfficialLoganK Claude Max user here. Came back to Gemini after 2-3 months to see if things had improved and running into this within first few prompts. Is anyone actually using Gemini at google? How are people not running into these issues? Is there another way?

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@viktor_pali @craftdocs A few improvements that would make me start using Craft again:
- Performance before additional features. App consumes about 2gb ram on Mac (obsidion which is electron takes 300mb). Font size changes take 2-3 seconds
- Android app is just a browser wrapper and feels clunky

@viktor_pali @craftdocs The android app really sucks 😔
As a person who uses Mac as their laptop but android for their phone, I have started to look for alternatives despite being a paying customer! Also the Mac app has started to feel sluggish. Takes 3 seconds every time I change font size!

@theo Is this the $20 plan or the $20p plan? I am currently on Claude $100 plan and haven't been able to exhaust limits on it yet eleven with 3-4 parallel agents. Thinking of trying Codex out.

@petergyang This is a good plug. I subscribed!

@Hangsiin It's a terrible experience every time I try to give one of their tools another chance and end up hating the experience and quickly switch back to Claude Code. They might be fine with alienating the users in the short term though 🤷‍♂️

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@Hangsiin I don't understand this argument at all for the fact that they do have tools like Antigravity and Gemini CLI which try to compete with other coding tools. But the model hallucinating and unable to follow instructions is what degrades its quality!

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@Star_Knight12 Meanwhile @antigravity account telling everyone that it's the future of development
https://t.co/54aLwUi2wV

I wonder if the Google engineers are themselves using Antigravity or not. Hate to see this mismanagement 😢

[Google Antigravity @antigravity]

The future of software development is here.

Our Agent Manager serves as your primary surface for orchestration, while the Editor is your tool for precision debugging and manual refinement.

Seamlessly move between the big picture and the fine details without losing context.

Told @claudeai my terminal was slow
It asked to see my .zshrc
Diagnosed NVM (+500ms), Conda (+200ms), SDKMAN (+100ms) on EVERY shell open
Rewrote the whole thing with lazy loading in 30 seconds
1.2s → 0.07s startup

Stop paying the tax on tools you use 10% of the time!

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

It's mind boggling specially because harnesses like @opencode - which are orders of magnitude better than Antigravity - are basically free and Open Source and for anyone to see how they work!

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

I DO NOT know what is wrong with Google's Antigravity. Have been trying it for a couple of side projects and the harness barely works reliably!
Can't fix a bug - BOOM! Delete current project and create a new one!
Doing research in Planning Mode - BOOM! Starts implementing code 🤦

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@burkov I have also been frustrated with the same levels of annoying replies by gemini. Even the "antigravity" harness seems to be broken for single agent execution. Gemini straight up deleted my firebase project and created a new one from scratch because it couldn't debug an issue

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@SalehOfTomorrow Well, at least he failed fast 🥲

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@mitchellh @mitchellh I have often seen great vim modes but have been afraid to start using it in any meaningful way just because I don't even know what and how to do things apart from the basics. Do you recommend any good tutorials or guide for this?

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@ryan_lynn_ @LiebermanAustin @grok what is the user talking about? What did Brad say?

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@avstorm Does anyone know if they have plans for an Android version? 🤖

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

The struggle to avoid checking your phone every 2 mins while doing something creative is real📱

[Ambar Mehrotra @__notanengineer]

@joshm @browsercompany @arcinternet My dream would be for it to work for Android 🙂
