Yet another thing that Gemini is really good at.
So you are in the middle of coding something, but you get side tracked by something. Maybe it‘s a bug you discover in a related bit of code, or it‘s something you realise you have a gap in your domain knowledge about, or something that crops up as part of the usual back and forth between two people as they work on something, and you suddenly realise that you are side tracked, but it‘s a valuable detour, so you take a few minutes to explore.
You pretty quickly get to some form of resolution, or decision, or a new perspective or mental model about something, and it‘s time to get back on the main path and continue what you were doing. But wouldn‘t it be nice if you could document your findings somehow?
"Hey Gem, can you take all the details we just discussed and turn it into a document for reference please?"
If you can‘t think of a good name for the document, ask for a suggestion. A few seconds later, you have an API_GUIDE.md, a DESIGN_SYSTEM.md, or perhaps a COMMIT_CONVENTIONS.md, nicely tidied away in the /docs folder".
And I have found it‘s mostly pretty darn good. Probably much better than I would have been able to do, and occasionally is so unbelievably good that you are quite literally lost for words and have to go and have a few minutes break, because some part of you deep down just can not quite believe what it just witnessed. #
