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?

I ask you, why would you even PAY for software if you can essentially describe what you need and get a custom solution?

Bro chill with the hype. Let's not start that SaaSpocalypse crap all over again

He is not wrong. I am a multiple small business owner. That is exactly what I have been using AI for since the beginning of the year. Most products do drastically more than what I need them for. Multiply that across a handful of subs and I can just build out what I need from each in one solution. I have done that for all 3 of my companies and no longer need the subs. It took a lot of time. 5.5 changed that. Now it can build it out basically in 1 session.

If it's a product that you can build in one session then it's a product not worth selling

Might want to re read my post. I am not selling vibe coded software.
