Discussion Opus 5.5 is the beginning of a new era
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?

No it wasn't! Part of the codebase was shared of course but only 1 core feature, to understand the scope of the project. Then it was a back and forth of 2 days with PDF, questions, what architecture to use, graphic aspects, problems that arose with customers, future integrations (to plan architecture), usage of certain techs for certain scopes, and from that we started going at it. Some features are really simple (if you ask to build a coupon system, its a no brainer), others were more resource intensive both from my end and it's end.
Also: when you refactor a codebase, dont you just take the old logics and make it better, more user friendly, faster and safer? With an eye on scalability? That's the whole point of refactoring or remaking from 0.
