1. Beyond the IDE Unlocking Productivity with AI Agents and Gemini CLI
2. Hello! I am Mashhood. I am currently Head of Engineering at Taleemabad where we are infusing AI with education, And community leader as a Google Developer Expert in ML (GenAI) / Web, I also run a micro-podcast, karachiwala.dev
7. Best for prototyping Best for assistance Best for agentic coding
13. Manual tools vs Power tools
14. - Andrew Ng There’s a new breed of GenAI Application Engineers who can build more-powerful applications faster than was possible before, thanks to generative AI. Individuals who can play this role are highly sought-after by businesses… https://x.com/AndrewYNg/status/1933185193059516442
15. On Coding Assistants. Experiment actively Refine in small chunks Master Prompt Engineering Provide the right context
18. What is context engineering?
19. https://github.com/lm-sys/RouteLLM Using the right model…
21. On Agentic Coding. Define a clear goal. Breakdown complex tasks. Human in the loop flows Use MCP to gather context Evals help scale agents
26. On Building Prototypes. Start small. Forget about code. Rapid Iterations. Don’t hesitate to start over. Give wireframes / designs
