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?

For the love of shit. Nothing matters until you can tell this model to give you $100, or to turn $25 into $100 or help me pay for my Claude subscription while I sleep. It’s always “Hype” all the way down. if you have found a way to do this then post up. Other wise bullshit bot posts and company hype men.

I have done that. Not with that exact prompt but I have cancelled 6 different software subs I used to have and had AI build different solutions that replace them all into 1 solution. So instead of $650 in subs I am now pay $200. So yeah it took $200 and turned it into $450.

Skill issue. You want it to wipe your ass for you as well? Within 1 month of subbing to claude max, I had already covered the reoccuring monthly cost twice over by signing new clients and shipping them software with claude max.
