I've blown away by flash 3.6's speed while Opus chugs along for _hours_ on similar tasks. I've gotten into a opus designed -> gemini implemented -> opus reviewed dev cycle recently.

I am actively using Gemini flash to "translate" what Opus says into human language. I let opus do the design (with my assistance) and implementation, but then the report that Opus writes gets translated by Gemini so that I don't have to waste time to understand it.

That’s like the army guy in movies from the 90s who shouts “IN ENGLISH, PLEASE!” after the scientist explains the conflict of the plot.

Matt Pocock has a great /wait-what skill for this: https://www.aihero.dev/skills-wait-what, which is an extremely short prompt of:

> Wait — I don't understand where you've got to here. Re-pitch that: give me a little bit of context, talk in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and use the ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md.

> I've gotten into a opus designed -> gemini implemented -> opus reviewed dev cycle recently.

This is what I do too.

Last time I tried it, Flash introduced too many errors due to sloppiness. Is it more reliable at following instructions now?

It seems reliable to me now.
