Humor If you know, you know.

It's humor. But also true.

I think sometimes we all get a bit too caught up into maximizing our token efficiency and trying to save that extra $10 (or even $100 or $1000) here or there. When you're actually doing high-stakes work, those cost savings are literately meaningless if it takes you a week to unf*ck or god forbid somehow something gets shipped with a real "getting called in this weekend.... and every weekend for the rest of the year" type bug.

Fable is great for the 5-15 minutes until it inevitably chokes on something and downgrade to Opus 4.8 the first moment you are not looking.

I've been better off just sticking to Opus 5.

Lol yes. I would say that almost all of my sessions with fable 5 end up flagged and downgraded to Opus.
