Daily Reading List – December 3, 2025 (#677)

[blog] Gemini CLI for Authors — Part 5: Find and fix content gaps with AI. I’ve enjoyed this series of posts from a smart technical writer. This post shows a valuable use case.

[article] The complete guide to Node.js frameworks. Does any ecosystem have more frameworks than JavaScript? This is just covering Node, and there’s plenty more for other runtimes.
