I’m not a programmer as such, I’m a graphic designer (specialize UX/UI). This customer journey of the title is my way of thanking you for the 3 free working spaces. I’m going to expand on the feedback a little more.
USER PERSONA
My relationship with programming has always been mountains and mountains of effort to achieve the desired result (usually much more complex than the project required 
) in a project until the next technological cycle where apparently all those enormous mathematical concepts I delved deeply into, painfully, were useless because again, I couldn’t “speak.”
My conclusion was
Programming is just for programmers
SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE
I must confess that I was very happy during the first two days of using FireBase Studio. You have to take it step by step, but if you structure what you want well, Gemini understands you… sort of. It’s like working with a very talented but somewhat absent-minded intern. The fact is that it complements people like me very well, who understand the strategy of a project, but can’t invest so much energy into staying up-to-date. In two nights, I had prototyped an app with a ton of features I never thought I would. I would be able to solve it so cleanly.
My conclusion was
Programming was for anyone with structured thinking and an idea
PAIN POINTS
I started to notice that Gemini would get cold feet when she/he no longer wanted to overwrite my files like she/he used to and would send me to replace code manually. She/he always suggested it very kindly… But it wasn’t the same anymore. At the worst times, she/he wouldn’t even provide me with code; he/she would throw generic examples and sometimes just general notions at me. I was suffering. While we’re at it, why don’t you send me to Google it? eh?
From the third day on, I began to consider that perhaps it was easier to find the line of code that creates a new kind of button than to try to explain the same thing to Gemini ten times and wait another three minutes, with the computer fan making the noise of a helicopter, for nothing to happen. I saw that the button still had square corners. Gemini assured me that they weren’t, they were round. I went from feeling powerful to feeling stupid, throwing shovelfuls of alert messages at Gemini to see if they would inspire her/him.
But… I was still so excited that I would have continued to forgive Gemini for him/her stubbornness. Deep down, I was feeling guilty for delegating too much.
FROM PRESCRIBER TO DETRACTOR
After a week of rebooting, waiting, correcting errors, rebooting, waiting, waiting, rebooting, waiting, waiting… CRASH!
The preview is not working. Is something wrong with the server? It has loaded successfully, Gemini tells me. But it’s still blank.
I’ve been trying to reboot for two days, hoping it will “fix itself,” but… Nothing. Gemini says it’s not his/her problem, that he/she only edits code, that he/she doesn’t get paid for that.
My conclusion now is
Carry out a project is for CEOs who can threaten to fire sexually insecure geniuses if things don’t work by the time they get back from lunch.
If this worked at 40% of the capacity it had in the first few days, it would be a revolution. Seriously.
For now, I feel like I’ve been seduced, and when I showed interest, and had already told all my friends about my discovery… I got ghosted 
Anyway, very grateful.
