Builder reviews
This is the useful layer: real use cases, the parts that shipped fast, and the parts that started breaking once the app got more real.

Editorial notes
Useful context from gptsters, clearly separate from builder proof.
Used for
Used it inside a Google Cloud-heavy development setup
Gemini Code Assist is reasonable for teams already deep in Google Cloud. Outside that, it is harder to make a strong case over more mature cross-ecosystem competitors.
Gpsters Editorial
Used for
Tested it for code completion on a Cloud Run project
The product is most attractive when your workflows already point toward Google. Otherwise, better-known developer tools tend to have the stronger day-to-day UX.
