It is HORRENDOUS when compared to other models.
I hear a bunch of other people talking about how great Gemini is, but I've never seen it.
The responses are usually either incorrect, way too long, (essays when I wanted summaries) or just...not...good. I will ask the exact same question to both Gemini and ChatGPT (free) and GPT will give a great answer while the Gemini answer is trash.
Am I missing something?
As developers, we often want everything to be rich, verbose, and customizable — but the reality is that for most users (and now for AIs acting on their behalf), simplicity wins every time. It’s like designing a great UI: the fewer ways you can get lost, the more people (or models) can actually use it productively.
If MCP ends up nudging the ecosystem toward small, well-defined, composable capabilities, that’s a win far beyond just “AI integration.”
Go and Rust are amazing languages, but why can’t they produce a Rails-like framework?
Is it just a matter of time before Go/Rust create a Rails-like framework, or is something fundamental preventing it?
Perhaps this article by Patrick Li (author of Stanza language) has the answers [1].
[1] Stop Designing Languages. Write Libraries Instead:
... Wait, did I count correctly? Let me recount. The word is S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So positions 3, 8, and 9 are 'R's. That makes three 'R's in total. But I'm a bit confused because when I first wrote it out, I thought maybe only two. Let me double-check. Maybe I miscounted the letters.
Alternatively, perhaps the word doesn't have three 'R's. Let me write it again: S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So, after E, there are two R's before Y. So that would be two R's, right? Wait, no, in the breakdown, position 3 is R, then position 8 and 9 are R's. So that's three R's. But I'm not sure if that's correct because sometimes people might miscount. ...

The Firefox addon/Chrome extension is free, but you need your own OpenRouter/Gemini API key. The cost of web translation is really low, you can translate an article for ~$0.01 with really good quality. (You can try at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/subly-xyz/)
I built it because I use Firefox the most and it seemed like no translate addon was good or simple enough. Chrome translate kinda works, but the quality is so low; it usually doesn't understand the article context.
