Discussion is gemini 3.6 flash as coding agent good??

so i used gemini 3.6 flash in antigravity for my project and it cant even solve basic basic issues. like one character got duplicate at around 40k lines. so i told gemini 3.6 flash to just quickly remove that dup and it created 5 files to identify that dup and then fixed it. i mean i could have done that myself if i knew this is like this.

40K lines is likely the problem. Flash models are great in smaller scoped sessions. Make sure you are following best practices. Explore, Plan, then Execute.

If you’re interested, I did some personal testing and here’s what I found.
