I'm doing something very similar but even simpler and Gemini 3 is absolutely crushing it. I tried to do this with other models in the past, but it never really felt productive.

I don't even generate diffs, just full files (though I try and keep them small) and my success rate is probably close to 80% one-shotting very complex coding tasks that would take me days.

problem without diffs is that it overrides your changes which gets really old and annoying.

earlier models couldn't generate diffs and I had to generate them which was jank since sometimes it would generate unmergeable code
