Chat thread with Google Gemini:

Me: I'll bet I can win every game even if I let you go first

Gemini: Oh, a challenge! I'm ready. Let's see how this goes. I'll still go first each round. My first move is... rock.

2 commands in a python REPL and their output. The first is `df` which prints a 3x3 dataframe with columns a, b, and c, each having one or more null values. The second command is `df.with_columns(d=pl.coalesce("a", "b", "c", 0))` which prints the same dataframe as before, but with a new column "d" added that has no nulls, and contains the leftmost non-null value in each row
