   Vibe Coding: Build A Complete App From Scratch In Minutes Using GitHub Copilot.

   A senior engineer shares their journey from skepticism to adoption of GitHub Copilot after testing it on tutorial projects. They demonstrate building a Flutter app called "Mood Mixer" that captures selfies, detects emotions, and generates Spotify playlists using only AI prompts and no manual coding. The piece explores how AI tools can serve as effective assistants for scaffolding, state management, and function improvements rather than complete replacements for developer skills.

   Introducing the Jules extension for Gemini CLI

   Google launched the Jules extension for Gemini CLI, an autonomous coding assistant that handles tasks asynchronously in a background virtual machine. While Gemini CLI serves as an interactive terminal collaborator for active tasks, Jules works independently to clone code, install dependencies, and modify files. Developers can delegate tasks using the /jules command and check progress without interrupting their workflow. The extension requires Gemini CLI v0.4.0 or newer and can be installed with auto-update capabilities.
