I don’t think Gemini writes better code, not 3.0 at least.

Maybe with good prompt engineering it does? admittedly I never tried to tell it to not hard code stuff and it just was really messy generally. Whereas Claude somehow can maintain perfect clarity to its code and neatness and readability out of the box.

Claude’s code really is much easier to understand and immediately orient around. It’s great. It’s how I would write it for myself. Gemini while it may work is just a total mess I don’t want to have in my codebase at all and hate to let it generate my files even if it sometimes finds solutions to problems Claude doesn’t, what’s the use of it if it is unreadable and hard to maintain.
