    Gemini 3.5 Flash, Composer 2.5 is a Beast, Google IO, We Live in Exciting Times | Ep 16

    Google I.O. brought major updates, but the developer community is furious. Is Gemini 3.5 Flash a massive step backward for production apps? In Episode 16 of Rate Limited, Ray, Eric, and Adam break down the massive backlash surrounding Google’s new pricing model and token consumption, why the Gemini CLI is getting aggressively sunset, and whether Cursor’s new Composer 2.5 is the absolute pinnacle of AI coding workhorses.  We also react to Andrej Karpathy’s massive jump to Anthropic, detail a wild success story of modding Zelda into VR using Codex's Goal Mode, and discuss how to transition your mindset into the era of probabilistic, agentic engineering.
