Claude Code Limitations
Users are discussing Claude Code's limitations in specific coding tasks like Kotlin and Android development, and some are using Gemini to supplement its capabilities.
Gemini 3 seems like the best choice if you're not going to write code yourself. Have Gemini create the initial functional block diagram, summarize the requirements, then feed that into Claude Code Opus 4.5 as the foundation, and finally let Codex 5.2 handle the actual coding β
