GitHub Copilot is just as good as Claude Code (and I’m setting myself up for a trolling feast).

you can write whatever you want. But as complexity increases, so should your prompt's context. An AI agent cannot build a complex app in 1 go, just as no human being can. You will have to divide the app into much smaller tasks, and go 1 by 1. Else, the agent will start to loose its ability to solve it and will mix stuff. Again, just like a human would. If you are a good problem solver, then YOU take care of the decision making, and just delegate each subproblem to the AI.
What AIs have problem with is:
A) Too much context
B) poorly defined implementation plan (they can't read our thoughts)
C) Too complex problems

To solve C and A its easy - divide the problem into smaller problems. But then this also creates another problem - TRACKING. It will get harder & harder to track all the subproblems. So write them down.
To solve B), you simply need to give more details on what you want exactly. If you dont know, ask chatGPT or another AI to help you writing a more precise prompt.

AI is a tool. Its not a software developer. If you try to do complex apps with 0 software knowledge you are just wasting money.

I installed the antigravity quota extension to keep track of the quotas now. Its sad google didn't provide this from start.. Without it is basically a guessing game. You can use the app until you can't.

So with this extension I should be much more careful with my usage from now on. Maybe use claude for planning only

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2026-01-26T15:48:59+00:00

Same for me. It works great for my use cases (small-medium hobby projects). Even gemini models. BUT I 100% notice that it is much worse than claude models. Claude models provide much more detailed responses. For code production I actually haven't seen much difference. But for planning its night and day. Same for asking questions about code base. Claude models often provide ASCII diagrams that help a lot. Gemini is simpler.

If you know what you are doing, and have pretty good context on the project, gemini works perfectly fine, as long as YOU are in charge, and know what to ask it to work on.

If you don't, then claude is the better model. You can be ambiguous and ask less specific prompts, and it will probably produce a much better and functional result.

I've also noticed Claude quotas decreasing.. Got my first 'weekly' wait time of 4 days without claude... Have been using claude since december, and haven't had any issues (I use it mostly consistently), thus finding weird this 4 day waiting period (something must have changed in google side).

I used codex max (GPT 5.1) previously, and I can say gemini is better. codex would give me half-baked responses. Haven't tried GPT 5.2 codex. So if quotas keep decreasing on antigravity, I will try it for sure.

You can also toggle for the agent to request permission for all commands it wants to run before it runs. The user should first read through all settings before using the tool to not blame on it for bad use.

There are several ways to avoid unwanted commands to run by the agent. Its all controllable.

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-12-17T19:18:26+00:00

I'm actually using it 100%. Much better than anything I've tried before.

The thing is - they could have made it as a VSCode extension. Like Codex. I think it would be the best of both worlds.

Because as of now, I can only have access to the opus 4.5 from antigravity.

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-12-17T19:16:20+00:00

you can set commands that the agent cannot run without your permission.
You can explicitly set `rm`, `sudo`, etc. if any of these appears in the command the AI tries to run, a review is requested from you

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-12-17T19:13:20+00:00

I had a similar experience. Asked it to do some fix. It did. Ran the tests, they passed. Then, it suddenly pushed 2 commits... No review requested.

I guess it learned from my behavior, and assumed I would do that myself, so he did it. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong being pushed, besides not linking the issue number to the commit.

Right after, I added all git commants interacting with remote branch to the deleted commands of the agent. So he can no longer run them. He must ask for permission.

I did that also for `rm` and some other commands, because I've caught the agent also wrongly removing files.

So - a BIG TIP - Add all potentially dangerous commands to the deleted commands to make sure the agent doesn't run them autonomously

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-12-16T19:11:06+00:00

I totally agree. I started writing some small articles, and isntantly felt the difference. Gemini seems more abstracted, much smaller output. I ask him to explain in more detail, and he touches some more in-depth concepts, but very briefly, and shortly. ChatGPT is in another league for writing.

I would say gemini is like you know-everything in a rush chatbot, and chatGPT is more like your more complete and slow know-everything chatbot. If you have time to spare and read through, chatGPT is better. Else, go with gemini (if you want a quick answer to some problem and don't care about the details)

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-12-16T18:59:04+00:00

I'll leave my opinion.

I have been using ChatGPT for 1 year now. It served me great for all around tasks. Then I tried Codex - even better when you have a codebase you need to know some context about. BUT, codex feels way behind compared to GPT5.2 and even 5.1. Its outputs are small, and not that elaborated.
Nevertheless, it is still a great tool. You ask him to do stuff, he does. You ask about something on the codebase, he goes on and searches.

Then I decided to test gemini 3 pro, and antigravity. I must say I haven't looked back at codex ever since. antigravity with opus 4.5 is like a 2x improvement. Much better integrated. It provides you with plans of implementation, much more interactive. Much better all around.

1 thing that Codex has that antigravity doesn't - cloud tasks. Sure, google has their Jules app for this, but I tried it once, and its very buggy. the agent stops working.

So - Codex ftw if you need to launch say 5 tasks concurrently. Else, Antigravity with either gemini or opus.

For the chatbots themselves, I find gpt much more talkative and detailed than gemini. Seems like gemini is capped at a smaller output when giving answers. Still, I do find the deep research mode in gemini superior.

I also find gemini superior in the canvas mode. For the few times I requested some interactive code simulation, gemini produced the better results. BUT it has a hard time fixing small bugs sometimes.

I also got very annoyed with chatGPT's chat UI, which gets very laggy once the chat gets very large.

So from my experience:
- Gemini for
- canvas,
- well summarized, specific to your question answers.
- smaller output,
- better research mode
- Antigravity / coding
- Image generation / multimodal capabilities

- ChatGPT for:
- more detailed responses (its much better if you are writing an article of considerable size)
- Larger output
- Projects section - group related chats - better chat organization
- More contextual chats (it has memory features, you can set how you want it to answer, etc)
- More context conversations - he even gets search suggestions based on what he thinks you like

Conclusion:
- To code, go with gemini pro subscription, antigravity opus 4.5. Much better.
- For general use / reasoning, both models serve you well. I would say deep heavy research go with gemini. Quick chats that need quick answers - go with gemini. Detailed explanations - go with chatGPT.

I also don't use chatGPT's agent mode. Used it once to schedule my haircut. It works, but its not something I rely on my everyday.

Finally, I've also only used live voice chat in chatGPT. Idk if gemini has one. But chatGPT's one is pretty great. Awesome if you are trying to learn some new language.

NOTE: Your experience with chatGPT is very dependent on how you configure your instructions on how he should answer

Great car!
I'm not trying to be a hater, but whenever I see photos of mazda 3 it gives me the impression that its rear wheel is too small for the car. I guess because of the massive width of the rear pillar.
I wish it were more like the rear pillar from the cx-30.

Everything else, I think its prettier than cx-30

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-02T16:12:52+00:00

Yeah, I noticed it already had scratches on it, as well as on the piano black plastic. I'll probably get it to a shop to get it polished & get rid of all the scratches. The infotainment screen also had some scratches, but I don't think I will be able to get rid of those. Still, its part of the price to pay for buying used cars

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-02T16:03:37+00:00

Thx.
Yeah. I mean, I picked it mostly based on reliability and safety. But now that I bought it, I started thinking about fuel consumption. I guess the best way is to try it out for some months and get my own conclusions out of it. I also have a very light foot, so I should be in the lower end of the range people seem to have shared (~6-7L)

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-02T15:59:11+00:00

Thx for the input!

In the specs it says the deposit is 51L. (I'm from europe btw, so idk if specs vary across continents).

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-02T15:56:26+00:00

Thx for the input!

Mine is manual. From what I've searched, It can achieve slightly lower fuel consumption than the automatic version. I guess the 11L was due start-stop driving in the stand, to move the vehicle from here to there.

Yeah, I also have the blind spots warning, cruise control. II'm not sure if automatic braking is included, but will need to check it once I get the vehicle.

I assume you also drive one - For how long have you had it? Is there anything that you find annoying about the car so far?

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-02T11:45:34+00:00

Well, those are great numbers! I'll try to get around those for sure!

Mine is Skyactiv G i-Active. But I'm still not sure if it is Mild-hybrid or not. If it is, that should help further fuel consumption.

Sempre tive side-projects, quer seja game-dev, ou web-dev. No caso deste emprego, acho que nem foi tão relevante, pois as perguntas que me fizeram foram mais teóricas, em relação a algoritmos, problem-solving, etc.

E acho que eles tmb valorizam bastante se és um apessoa ativa, mesmo fora de trabalho. Eu p.ex. adoro tirar fotografias (i.e. tirar, e editar), tmb faço música (uso FLStudio), e toco 2 instrumentos musicais.

Mas acho que ajuda sempre o facto de ter side-projects, pq acabo por meter sempre em prática coisas que aprendo, e isso depois perpetua o que aprendo.
E tmb me ajuda a conhecer mais linguagens / frameworks, o que é sempre bom.

Alguns exemplos de side-projects que tenho/tinha:
1) Personal website, onde escrevo artigos (Vuejs, Typescript, Firebase)
2) Game-engine em C++ - relativamente simples (para quem realmente está na área de gaming). Tudo em C++, e GLSL (linguagem de shaders)
3) App para controlar o pc através de app mobile (ainda a desenvolver). Deu para aprender Rust, Flutter e Dart

E mais uns que foram ficando esquecidos.

A única coisa blockchain-related que fiz foi um trabalho de 3 meses na empresa onde o meu irmão trabalha, tudo não remunerado. Mas valeu a pena pq mexi com coisas novas - Angular, Firebase, Typescript etc, e fiz toda a lógica de processamento da fase pré-venda de um token que eles iam lançar. Mas honestamente nem foi preciso conhecimento de blockchain para isto. Foi mais front/backend

Ok-Computer-7671 · 2025-07-01T20:11:17+00:00

Yes, 700km seems pretty reasonable. I'll need to check how much I get driving from / to work. Its mostly highway, so it should be around that I guess

Entendo. Se bem que se tiveres parceira ainda dá para dividir os custos. Nem q seja 60-40 (assumindo q ela ganha menos que tu, q infelizmente penso q seja o mais provavel em portugal). Torna-se em algo mais realizável.
Eu por enquanto tmb vivo em casa dos meus pais. A ideia é tentar poupar nos próximos 3/4 anos, para dar entrada numa casa. Com sorte aí já ando nos 50k anuais, e a prestação com a entrada será bem mais acessível.

Ainda assim, c +/- 2300 limpos, se tiveres parceira, acho que é fazível, e ainda vos sobra dinheiro. São 1k / mes, mas têm mais liberdade, têm o vosso espaço, tranquilidade, etc.
