The Last Tool You'll Ever Install — Antigravity 2.0. Google Finally Built the Dev Environment Nobody Asked For (But Everyone Needed)

There's a particular kind of pain every developer knows but rarely admits out loud.

You start a new project. You open VSCode. You install the extension pack. You set up ESLint. You wire up GitHub. You configure Vercel, or Railway, or Render — whichever one you're loyal to this month. You connect Firebase manually, copy-paste credentials into a .env file you'll definitely forget to add to .gitignore, set up Postman or Thunder Client for API testing, and spend forty-five minutes debugging why your local environment doesn't match production.

You haven't written a single line of actual product code yet.
