"no, dude, your opinion on genAI is ill informed unless you've used <literally the last genAI system I tried using>" (highlighting is the author's)

I know some of you are holding on to old September/October-ish beliefs about this, from last time you tried it, and you respectfully disagree.

But if you haven’t used specifically Opus 4.5/4.6 with specifically Claude Code for at least an hour, then you’re in for a real shock. Because all your complaining about AI not being useful for real-world tasks is obsolete. AI coding hit an event horizon on November 24th, 2025. It’s the real deal. And unfortunately, all your other tools and models are pretty terrible in comparison.
