Gemini is far and away my least favorite llm. So far I've had OK luck with windows copilot for a simple react site. The site was done in like 2 hours but I polished it up while the person I did it for was copyediting their whitepaper for the "site". I had 5 tabs in notepad++ and was saving it to a cifs share so I could test immediately. React is pretty snazzy but js with its decorations doesn't look quite right to me yet.

I used deepseek-R1-qwen-distill-15B to do a nodejs discord bot. That was done incredibly fast. I had asked for a few days for a cellphone app but llama, openai (didn't test 4o or newer yet), deepseek didn't let me know that what I was asking was technically impossible - service workers without a backend somewhere so I could keep track of timers and fire notifications. Like a PWA.

After asking copilot about it the other way around "can service workers URL be file:///?" Apparently not.

All of the serviceworker nonsense LLM gave me the two-step - make change, revert change, repeat.
