I freely admit that I don't know what I'm doing, even now, but "vibe
coding" has given me quite a bit. I'm a blind person using an Android
phone. I got a taste of Emacs years ago, so I had Gemini CLI make Termux
a bit more accessible to me as far as its app. I then had Gemini CLI,
inside Termux, hook up Emacspeak (Emacs screen reading system). And it's
been uphill (in the best way) ever since. Now, with a Bluetooth
keyboard, my phone is very close to being the only computer I need.
(besides heavy browsing and games).

Also, the AI had to polyfill some TCLX stuff on top of TCL to get
Emacspeak working with some speech servers, get those speech engines,
like DecTalk, working in the Termux environment, so it wasn't a simple
make && make install.
