GOOGLE UNVEILS GEMINI CODE ASSIST AND I'M CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC IT WILL HELP PROGRAMMERS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Google’s new Gemini Code Assist is an AI-powered coding assistant that helps programmers streamline development tasks. It runs within popular IDEs and can generate code, explain existing code, and assist with large-scale codebase changes. However, similar to GitHub Copilot, it can’t write code completely by itself and will probably need developer oversight to be fully effective.
