Spending time for nothing

Google AI Studio

Hello,

I’m experimenting AI studio with Gemini 3 and I’m impressed by the result but in the same time, I realize that I begin to spend as much time fixing things Gemini changes without my permission as I do developing new features. It’s a real waste of time, not to mention all the errors we’ll inevitably miss. Is there any way to make it be more consistent?

Hi,

While AIStudio Build is ahead of the curve in many aspects, it is still just a ‘code generator’, not a ‘programmer’.

You still need some understanding of programming and code to use it optimally, and guide it towards what you want. No real way around it.

Sure it can spit out simple websites and game demos with little effort, but moving beyond that requires a bit of human knowledge and effort.

It won’t clean up or improve your codebase on its own. You have to guide it beyond the ‘wow’ output your initial prompts gave you.

  1. Decompose your codebase early and often (no 1k+ LOC scripts with mixed responsibilities).
  2. Don’t try to do too much in a single prompt.
  3. Break down the problem you’re trying to solve into smaller parts, instead of trying to one-shot everything.

I found this, and then added the line “Only carry out these instructions. Do not change modify or remove any other features and functions.” to every round of code. Game changer. Now its as good as your instructions are.
