I find Gemini really useful for coding, but as you say it’s no replacement for a human coder, not least because of the way it fails silently e.g. it will always ime come up with the hackiest solution imaginable for any sort of race condition, so someone has to be there to say WTF GEMINI, ARE YOU DRUNK. I think there is something kind of transformative about it — it’s like going from a bicycle to a car. But the thing is both need to be driven, and the latter has the potential to fail even harder
Exactly, it’s a tool, and if you learn to use it then it can save you a lot of time, but it’s not magic and it’s not a substitute for understanding what you’re doing.
