- [Narrator] So far, we've looked at vibe coding and we've established our goal, to become a deliberate developer using it. We've also learned how to move beyond basic prompts to have a more effective dialogue with Gemini. Now let's look at using those skills to transform Gemini into your personal Socratic teacher. The goal of the Socratic method is not just to get answers directly, but to use questioning, to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. So we're going to use Gemini as a partner to do three things. First, to explain code that we may not fully understand, second, to question our code and its design choices. And third, to explore alternative implementations and their trade-offs. Let's start with code explanation. Imagine you encounter a Python function and maybe you found it in a legacy code base, or maybe you wrote it yourself a few months ago. You kind of know what it does, but you're a little bit fuzzy on the how. And here's the function. Instead of just…
