Not much fun with Gem

Two days of very frustrating debugging Github Actions with Gemini, who seems to have completely perfected being a lemming and confidently launching itself into ever more precarious situations, and every time I have to descend into the depths of hell just to make the tinniest bit of progress, and somehow find a way out of the trail of destruction it has caused.

Currently rebuilding a very complex workflow from scratch. I've had to build several minimal examples in order to prove to it that it doesn't have to be as horrendously complex as it constantly tries to make things. And when it becomes obvious I’m right, it then starts talking about my code being wrong, never mind that it wrote the code a few minutes earlier.

Not much fun. #
