I have my issues with the code Gemini Pro in AI Studio generates without customized "System Instructions".

It turns a well readable code-snippet of 5 lines into a 30 line snippet full of comments and mostly unnecessary error handling. Code which becomes harder to reason about.

But for sysadmin tasks, like dealing with ZFS and LVM, it is absolutely incredible.

I’ve found the same thing. I don’t use it for code any more because it produces highly verbose and inefficient code that may work but is ugly and subtly brittle.
