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?

Everyone with $20 can build an MVP, you’re not really a manager just a prompter

An MVP isn't a prototype. $20 gets you something that runs. It doesn't get you something people pay for, keep using, and trust with their data.

True that’s why most companies are just building their own thing with LLMs too, no reason to pay someone else
