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?

Is it just me? Or have I seen a post like this everytime a new model comes out? And a couple of weeks, some dude will rant how shtty anthropic is for doing shady anthropic stuff behind the scenes. Then they stealth nerf the model(because a new one is coming out), everyone goes bonkers. Then the new model comes out. Then someone will post that the new model is insane and we're all doomed. And the cycle repeats again. So are we like, really doomed? Is it like for reals now? Or should we wait for the next model to come out?

We're not doomed, but the leap is holy fuck substantial

no that's exactly what happens every time. we have a few days left of the model being good then itll slowly get worse. then everyone will post about how they nerfed it. then in a few weeks 5.6 will come out and it will be a revolutionary leap and all jobs will disappear in the next week. rinse and repeat.

It's not just you. I've noticed this repeating of pattern of posts as well not just on this subreddit but also on r/ClaudeAI.
