Have you tried Gemini 3 yet? I haven't done any coding with it, but on other tasks I've been impressed compared to gpt 5 and Sonnet 4.5.

- stavros 11mo agoOnly a tiny bit, but I should. When you say GPT-5, do you mean 5.1? Codex or regular?
- joegibbs 11mo agoIt's very good but it feels kind of off-the-rails in comparison to Sonnet 4.5 - at least with Cursor it does strange things like putting its reasoning in comments that are about 15 lines long, deleting 90% of a file for no real reason (especially when context is reaching capacity) and making the same error that I just told it not to do.
- KoolKat23 11mo agoimo don't waste your time for coding with Gemini 3. Perhaps worth it if it's something Claude's not helping with, as Gemini 3's reasoning is very good supposedly.
- Culonavirus 11mo agoThe computer science field is going to be an absolute shitshow within 5 years (it already kinda is). On one side you'll have ADHD dog attention span zoomers trying out all these nth party model apis and tools every 5 seconds (switching them like socks, insisting the latest one is better, but ultimately producing the same slop) and on the other side you'll have all these applied math gurus squeezing out the last bits of usable AI compute on the planet... and nothing else. We used to joke that "The internet was a mistake.", making fun of the bad parts... but LLMs take the fucking cake. No intelligent beings, no sentient robots, just unlimited amounts of slop. The tech basically stopped evolving right around the point of it being good enough for spam and slop, but not going any further, there are no cures no new laws of physics or math or anything else being discovered by these things. All AI use in science I can see is based on finding patters in data, not intelligent thought (as in novel ideas). What a bust.
- cons0le 11mo agoThe worst part is when the AI spits out dogshit results --people show up at lightspeed in the comments to say how "you're not using it right" / "try this other model, it's better" Anecdotally, the people I see the most excited about AI are the people that don't do any fucking work. I can create a lot of value with plain ol' for loop style automation in my niche. We're stil nowhere near the limit of what we can do with automation, that I don't give a fuck about what AI can do. Bruh in windows 10 copy and fuckin paste doesn't work for me anymore, but instead of fixing that they're adding AI
- dyauspitr 11mo agoThe only people I see complaining about AI are those that have the most to lose.
- phantasmish 11mo agoMy wife and I are both paid to work on AI products and we both think the whole thing’s only sorta useful in-fact. Not nothing, but… not that much, either. I’m not worried about AI taking our jobs, I’m worried about the market crash when the reality of the various failed (… to actually reduce payroll) or would’ve-been-cheaper-and-better-without-AI initiatives the two of us have been working on non-stop since this shit started break through the hype of investment and the music stops.
- cons0le 11mo agoUsing it isn't optional though, its forced through corporate policy. If my boss would shut up about it that would be enough for me
- HPsquared 11mo agoLLMs help a lot of users with making FOR loops and things like that. At least it's been the case for me, I'd never tried to use PowerShell before but with a bit of LLM guidance was able to cobble together some useful (for me) one-liner commands to do things like "use this CSV of file names and pixel locations, and make cropped PNG thumbnails of these locations from these images". Stuff like that which regular users often do by hand, they can ask an LLM for the command (usually just a few lines of a scripting language if they only know the magic words to use).
