I don't know if there is anyone left who is skeptical...but the LLM updates over the past couple months for programming are a giant leap forward, and it seems like we've crossed an inflection point for the industry.
Using Opus 4.5, I was able to get what would have been 5 days of work for me finished in 1 day.
One stage of my work included writing 8 paragraphs of instructions for Opus, and it wrote hundreds of lines of code across 7 repos, and was ~99% accurate and finished after a few minutes
