1. Understand the code, don't blindly trust the AI:
If you don't understand the code Gemini Code Assist gives you,
you won't be able to defend or modify it effectively.
2. Debug the code:
AI can sometimes generate subtle errors or suboptimal solutions. Spend time understanding why the code works (or not), testing it, and debugging it yourself.
3. Be prepared to explain your choices:
The judges may ask why you chose one approach over another. If you haven't thought through the alternatives or the rationale behind the generated code, it will show.
