I haven't used it for coding. I don't get very many Gemini Pro prompts with my [very pedestrian] google workspace account. Most of those prompts are spent dealing with the the lies, and after we get that straight there isn't much left for anything resembling actual work.

As a bonus feature: Because it's a workspace account, it forgets everything about what went wrong last time so every session is like a scene from the film Groundhog Day. It is apparently impossible to change this behavior even though I am the administrator.

Overall, I find its utility to be negative -- I'm worse with it than I am without it.

Which is remarkable, I think: I've been using ChatGPT since pretty early on in the demo days and paying for a Plus account for about as long as anyone ever could, and my opinion of that is generally positive. I've accomplished some fairly neat stuff with OpenAI's offerings that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.

So I'm not generally averse to LLMs. I'm just averse to using Gemini to do anything more complex than turning on a light bulb. :)

I'm glad to hear that you're able to find some utility with it.
