I was really fascinated by Gemini 1.5 pro, though it was a bit slow and sort of 70% accurate in my use case.

I have a huge 500k~ tokens and complex niche codebase that I've worked on for many years, largely alone. There are parts of it I wish to refactor but I struggle because it I've become blind to my own code. It also sometimes feels lonely in a way. If it was a game I could at least show my friends, but this project is too abstract.

Gemini missed the mark a few times, especially when asking about more complex things but overall it was useful. That it got things wrong is sort of ok because I knew the codebase well enough to spot those mistakes.

Gemini 1.5 pro gave me a glimpse into what it was like having "someone" understand your whole codebase, hint at areas to improve, etc. A bit like a true copilot or coworker, but for a dream hobby project.
