Well now it’s true. I think people said it earlier because they didn’t really care about the slop. I do care, and so I would have totally agreed with you 3 months ago. But since Astra they made a huge leap (way beyond what the benchmarks show). Kind of annoying because I’d like to use them for personal projects but they’re really expensive. I tried some of the cheaper models and they’re still in slop land.

In a way this is all great because vibe coding actually works for real now. Tools that I’ve wanted for years I can now make in a few days of prompting. But also… society is not ready for this. And I would like to have a job. Still, sticking your head in the sand isn’t going to help.
