Just yesterday I was both hindered and helped by Google in modifying a 32 bit bootloader to load and executes 64 bit code.

- Google search was utterly useless, giving me no relevant results (which I found later by searching around github). It mainly returned results for a different archtecture, padded with results on a different topic.

- Gemini only wanted to give workflow hints sparsely dotted with actual (correct) asm.

- but then I found out that Gemini had a full grasp of the 6500 page datasheet and it happily reviewed my code, pulling out 2 errors and suggesting some optimisation.

We’ve come to the point were google search is worse than github search. And I haven’t given up on Gemini yet.
