Promise, not a paid shill for Gemini, but it continues to impress.

I asked to add an optional parameter Button width. Plumbing through multiple files changed, as expected.

It also checked existing views and button widths without asking. It found a view where they were too wide and resized them.

For iOS apps, Gemini CLI has been much better than Cursor. Referencing specific files and being very specific with requested changes, Cursor Swift code built successfully ~50% of the time.

Gemini has built successfully ~90%, even with larger changes and less specific prompts.

Very impressed with Gemini's coding ability in the CLI.

Updating enemy properties in a game, and without telling it where, it updated the JSON definition file, the class, and all the functions that instantiate them.

Good to dive into personal projects again.

And the branch I let Cursor and other agents touch will be called "slop"
