Agentic coding in Emacs! Excerpted vibe coding session with AGGRAVATING lessons learned

I bring to you (excerpted) agentic coding in Emacs - no need to fire up an IDE or a vendor's CLI tool that only works with their models. As I point out in another video, I am not doing agentic coding in the sense that the LLM goes off and creates a working MVP in one turn. It's a give and take, human in the loop kind of session here. I give the LLM a set of tools to help with planning and task management. A note: at the end I ancountered times when the LLM (Gemini 2.5 Pro) was failing to call tools. I assumed this was due to "context clutter", but I'm not certain that was the only cause. The Gemini models seem to have a widely reported difficulty in calling tools correctly, or "remembering" to call them at all. Nonetheless, I do think this problem can be mitigated and managed with context hygiene and prompting.
