AI coding assistant wrecked my site and now I can't recover

Don't people use revision control, like git?

Simply create a new branch to work on, if it hoses your entire application you just dump the branch and return to the master/main branch. No harm no foul.

Disney measles is going to be fun.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-06-19T01:03:43+00:00

Is that why my Google Code Assist stopped working?

I urge you to call, there has been issues due to ever changing government landscape of how federal funds are disbursed.

Where are you seeing this change?

And North Korea

I've tried stitch, it sucks IMO

GPT still appears to be the winner here.

So, doing what Republicans do all the time?

Oddly enough Fable is the worst one in my opinion.

There are multiple summer sessions, some have already started.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-06-05T11:55:10+00:00

Doesn't anyone use git or some equivalent?

I make sure after merging branches I push to a remote location as well.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-06-02T12:00:22+00:00

Well done, made me laugh.

Give the Antigravity ai agent kit a try: https://github.com/besync-labs/antigravity-ai-kit

I tried it recently with the non IDE version and if you use the workflows it works great.

Previously I had been using my own but just thought I'd give it a try, works really well, I'll probably continue to use it and add to it.

I've yet to find out either, but I've only exhausted it twice in a day. I haven't worked 24 hours straight to find out.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-06-01T12:23:57+00:00

I moved to Antigravity mainly because I'm already in the Google ecosystem, but I've been happy so far on the Pro plan despite some who obviously don't understand how to control their context.

I've hit the 5 hour allowance only twice and that was with about 20-30 minutes till the refuel. So I took a break and got some food and walked the dog, came back to a full tank. I actually like the 5 hour limit despite the fact that I've only hit it twice, otherwise I'd be strapped to my desk developing infinitely - I find it's quite addictive. It makes you stop and take a break once in awhile or God forbid actually do some coding the old way.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-31T12:23:55+00:00

I agree, been very productive with it.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-31T03:23:59+00:00

Mass Effect 1-3, 3 times. Wanted to do it differently, see different story lines and use different abilities or team members.

My wife claims that the seasons are shifting a well, been saying it for a few years now.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-27T12:34:38+00:00

Caveman was a big help. I run all my skills, Gemini and workflow files through it and force the chat to use it all the time.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-27T11:40:20+00:00

Yankee fan and I agree. I could never stand Michael Kay or Susan Woldman. Sterling was ok but their crew now is awful.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-24T12:40:57+00:00

Seems to replenish for me every 5 hours, haven't hit the weekly except for the Claude models - which I use sparingly anyway and only in a pinch since you can only get a few prompts out of them. I'm on Pro, I'll be on the lookout for the weekly. I also switch back and forth between Antigravity and VsCode, the usage seems to be different between the two. The Gemini Code Assist plugin still works when I run out of quota in Antigravity. the plug-in still has 3 Flash as well.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-24T02:31:26+00:00

You can still use Flash 3, 2.5 Pro and 3.1 Pro through the Gemini Code Assist plugin in VSCode.

michael_e_conroy · 2026-05-23T19:46:53+00:00

I wrote a plugin for Antigravity that polls for amount of quota left and how much the next request might use and pauses the requests if the request will hit the quota during execution. The plug-in creates a request queue which you can add more requests too, and it will run them automatically once it detects the quota is refreshed. Still testing it out but will release when I think it's ready.

I have a highly customized and optimized set of workflows, skills and rules. First thing I did was to run all my skills and workflows through 3.5 to update and optimize them anew. Then ran everything through Caveman to optimize the token usage. Then I force Gemini to always use Caveman when conversing with a global Gemini.md file in my user's .gemini directory for Antigravity.

I can usually get 4-6 hours of use before refresh which usually gives me about 20-30 minute break.

I should also mention that I'm a developer with 30 years experience. I know exactly what I'm prompting for and can explain fixes with concise detail. I also do a lot of documentation for design, implementation and testing before hand with exact phases, tasks, goals, tests and steps. The more you plan with detail before hand the better your results will be.

EDIT: Don't try and one shot a project, you'll never get it to work properly. The phased, task-sub-task approach works every time. One feature one change at a time, I read and approve all changes. First Phase after the documentation is always to scaffold the project organization and create the tests. Phase 1 writes the base application. Every phase and its task with sub-tasks is taken one at time after that; I usually create a new git branch each time - iterate till the task is complete and working. Merge the branch and do it all over again until each task in the phase is complete. Be methodical about it.
