Was talking about this earlier, experimenting with visuals itās so unreliable and sometimes wonāt do what you ask it, if I was a boss with a deadline looming I would rather spend a bit more on a human that would actually do what you want first time

How fucked is this?
Was playing around with some transcription tools with the thought of doing an archive of skate podcast transcripts, so that people can hunt through old episodes of things through searching, rather than listening.
Transcribed the PJ 9 club episode and reading anything that Chris Roberts says is making me wish I never learnt to read.

The animal follows kind of the environment sort of follow, yeah. I give my cat way too many treats, so it just knows that itās good follow. It could be meow until I Give in. I enable it. For sure.
Obviously a bit garbled through the AI transcription, but this is truly enlightened stuff.
Could an AI host improve the nine club?
Iāve been using the Gemini (work account) quite extensively recently for scripting speed - So I know what to do (data obfuscation), but to actually script out what Iām doing and test would take me a little more time than I have available.
It produced numerous scripts where system tables were not the correct. Ran with huge assumptions not based upon facts. Forgot real basics where a less experienced DBA would likely be hung out to dry. I also found that it (and this happens more than Iād expect), if hitting a challenging problem, can get itself into a loop where solution 1 fails, 2 fails then 3 fails and then it ends up repeating solution 1. It also āforgotā facts gathered earlier in the conversation and when asking for a summary of actions, like a complete deployment guide for example, neglected to include the initial steps*
Yes it did save some time but I felt like part of me died numerous times whilst using it 
*On a positive note it can be very good for āwrite me a bash shell script to do x,y,zā.

I feel like itās going to be very useful for very specific tasks in future but overallā¦fuck off
Iām not even using the Ai mastering I was using free now, itās so hit and miss plus Iād rather learn myself and feel like cheat mode was off
@Mike I dare say Gemini isnāt the ideal tool to use.
If I were in your situation Iād use Claude, much better at coding. You can use āProjectsā and upload files to it (text, pdf, csv). Iād give an outline of your use case, what you do and samples of āgoodā vs ābadā code. Company history, tech stack inc. versions, all that stuff.
Thereās an optimal way to write your prompts as well, some people even structure them with json.
I had great experience of building a mini app to query a public facing API, optimise it, add Stripe payments, refactor it, review security etc. Learnt a lot as Iāve experienced all those things you mentioned (one of the simplest was āALWAYS VERSION THE CODEā so we can roll back to a previous version, but again, this should be laid out in your project files).
Currently got it connected to Github where it writes the codes, does pushes, PRs, everything. I havenāt touched it in a while but itās great.
Not sure where Iām going with this but Iād advise you put an hour aside every day to learn about Claude, workflows, feature leveraging and prompt optimisation as you donāt want to be left behind to someone that DOES know how to use it all.
Ai doesnāt have an ear. Only you know what sounds good.
Surely at some point ai is just going to be constantly wrong about everything because misinformation is piling on misinformation on the internet.
It will eventually become actual slop.
It has itās uses, no doubt, but it needs to be kept small on a new, separate clean internet and used for good and progression. Real problem solving. Give the skills we learned back to people otherwise weāll devolve into husks just looking for easy pleasure.

Unfortunately Gemini is what the company use at the moment. That might change next week!
Iām not traditionally a developer which is no doubt part of the issue, and it is unlikely I ever will be haha. But yep, all of the workflow and Git/Github/bitbucket stuff Iām having to try and learn now as Iām really old school and it shows - Iāve literally just been lifted and dropped into this new, modern world

was wondering if someone would mention Claude. Claude Code and Cursor are the shit. frankly everything else iāve tried is trash

I think you can do it with Gemini as well. Try having a look for Gemini RAG or Gems. Thatās about the equivalent as Claude.
This is my experience, doesnāt mean its not still useful but itās very much not what weāre being sold!
