Honestly can't tell if satire or not.

It's not satire. Gemini is much better for coding, at least for me.

Just to illustrate, I asked both about a browser automation script this morning. Claude used Selenium. Gemini used Playwright.

I think the main reasons Gemini is much better are:

1. It gets my whole code base as context. Claude can't take that many tokens. I also include documentation for newer versions of libraries (e.g. Svelte 5) that the LLM is not so familiar with.

2. Gemini has a more recent knowledge cutoff.

3. Gemini 2.5 Pro is a thinking model.

4. It's free to use through the web UI.

How do you give it your whole code base, via the web UI?

I created a script to pack it into a markdown file. Later I found this which does a better job, so I use it now.

Sweet, thanks! Glad I asked.
