Amusingly, about 90% of my rat's-nest problems with Sonnet 3.7 are solved by simply appending a few words to the end of the prompt:

"write minimum code required"

It's not even that sensitive to the wording - "be terse" or "make minimal changes" amount to the same thing - but the resulting code will often be at least 50% shorter than the un-guided version.

Gemini on the other hand has a tendency for super-defensive coding.

It'll check _EVERY_ edge case separately, even in situations where it will never ever happen and if it does, it's a NOP anyway.
