Yes. I am. It is spectacular in raw cognitive horsepower. Smarter than gpt5-codex-high but Gemini CLI is still buggy as hell. But yes, 3 has been a game changer for me today on hardcore Rust, CUDA and Math projects. Unbelievable what they’v

Scraping sucks. Imagine a broken API with new breakages every few weeks. Now imagine the provider hates you. Shout out to the team for what they do.

Use an agent to create something with a non-negotiable outcome. Eg software that does something useful, or fails to, in a language you don’t program in. This is a helpful way to calibrate your own understanding of what LLMs are capable of.
