Gemini CLI is like a fresh self taught coder on massive amounts of cocaine and adderall.
Just last night I asked it to create a project plan as markdown files. It started writing to disk and I tabbed out to watch Squid Game
When I came back it was 80% through implementation and was trying to fix some weird python async issue in a loop over and over again. I never told it to implement anything. But it will always - ALWAYS - rush into implementation unless you tell it not to with ALL CAPS.
Google really needs to add a Claude style explicit plan mode for it…
I interrupted it, gave the error to Claude Code, which fixed it in one go.
