Helped: Token efficiency, context, and genuine understanding of real-world applications.
Got in the way: GPT-5.1 was slow and weak; Sonnet 4.5 failed basic changes.
… think instead of a **rider that just agrees with everything you say and then fails doing basic changes, gpt-5.1 feels particulary slow and weak in real world applications that are larger than a few dozen files. gemini 2.5 felt really weak considering the amount of data and their proprietary TPU hardware in theory allowing them way more flexibility, but gemini 3 just works and it truly understands which is something I didn't think I'd be saying for a couple more years.
