Everyone knows GenAI is good for coding. I mean, even Linus is vibecoding with Antigravity now! However, how AI can help SREs and Operators is still up for debate. I’m at work when my friend Elia from the Rubycon team tells me: “Riccardo, Netlify can’t update our site anymore!” Luckily, the site is not down, it’s just stuck! In this article, we’ll see how Antigravity and Gemini CLI can help:

Get started with gemini-cli: let’s vibecode an app On June 23rd, the DeepMind team has dropped a bomb 💣: gemini-cli ! I’m so excited to show you how it works so.. Why don’t we code an application from scratch? I had this idea this morning of making a more complex and good looking version of palladius/my-sessions-and-bio so.. Why don’t we do it in a language that I don’t speak? What did you say, Latin?

Vibe coding my first Chrome Extension with gemini-cli ! A few months ago, a colleague told me about an internal tool that my colleagues were building: a CLI version of an LLM code assist which is code and file-system aware, and can help you create/fix code, and maybe also create a feature branch for you and push to production. Think of a “bash version” of Cursor/Windsurf" (or a free version of Claude Code / Codex CLI), and built with my favourite model, ♊ **Gemini**!

Note: this is my first experiment: first I write in Hugo/markdown, and then I port to Medium! Code 🇮🇹 site 🇩🇪 site 🇫🇷 site Geminocks https://ricc.rocks/ is an underlooked gem of precious content, and I’m not biased at all: it’s my personal blog. 🤣 Inside you can find my family pics, my sport and hobbies, alongside my Google Cloud articles. Why? I just fell in love with markdown and I’ve been directed by my colleagues to Hugo.
