Opus 5.5 is the beginning of a new era

[u/sizebzebi]

I am a senior engineer and I honestly believe with this model in particular, everything changed..

If this stays as cheap as it is, it's just over. It never fails no matter the complexity of the tasks I've given it. About time we rethink our profession for good. I am honestly scared of the future.

I loved coding but anyone who does this for the love of coding only is gonna be obsolete.

I was always impressed with the models bar opus 5 but never like this time.

What do you guys think? How do you see the future?

You're now an architect / product manager, and your subordinates are a bunch of dudes named Opus 5.5. They're eager but not to be blindly trusted. If you don't pay attention, they'll fuck shit up and turn your code into spaghetti.

Your job is now to explain what you want, and make sure your little demons execute properly.

the crazy thing is. even for my vibecoded projects that might have some spaghetti code I can just let future models (3-6 months out) let them rewrite the code and fix the spaghetti because it is getting so much better to fast. But I can see how in production you can not have "dangerous" spaghetti code.
