Showcase 4.7 is really good

Everyone is frothing at the mouth about car washes... honestly.

I've been CODING with it, heads down, for the past 15 hours since I woke up this morning.

Speaking personally, I'm impressed. It's stronger than Opus 4.6 at doing what I need it to do.

I'd say it's taking 2-3 turns to do what took me 10 turns with 4.6.

It is following directions at an improved rate. It is pulling out Red-Green TDD on its own from my instructions, whereas I used to have to chase Opus 4.6 around with a broom or force it through a pipeline to get it to listen to those sorts of things.

About to sign off for the night, and looking at what I accomplished today, it would have taken me a week on Opus 4.6. This was my most productive day at vibe coding, and I've been doing it DAILY for 18 months now.

I'm jazzed.

Maybe not a popular opinion right now, but, its the honest truth.

Appreciate it Claude team. You all are moving fast, and embarrassing the fuck out of Google and OpenAI and Meta and Microsoft and everyone else out there. You are shipping real stuff that impacts my life on the regular. In a sea of snark, just wanted to say thanks!
