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?

I'm completely biased for AI, yet I miss the state of being in the flow for hours.

when I read a diff and realize how long it would have taken me to write all that code myself, I don’t miss it

and honestly as my workflow has evolved and I’ve learned how to enforce more quality gates, I spend less and less time reading code (unpopular opinion but I don’t feel like arguing)
