Why do people suddenly talk about how Opus 4.5 is AGI while also complaining it’s stupid weeks ago?

We love pain

Glad I use Claude Code outside of western work hours especially the US. On busy hours it becomes orders of magnitude dumber and just ignores instructions.

Something good on Xcode comes out for once 🥳

GPT-5 fixed TypeScript build issues in a couple minutes where Gemini Pro gives up and Opus just running around in circles.

Good as in “I’m not a designer, this looks good enough for me” which is good enough for a lot of people.

If I receive a penny every time I read "You're absolutely right!", I'll be making ten bucks today.

Claude Code + V0 is super good at producing good looking and intuitive B2B UI. Develop the PRD with CC, and upload the document to V0 to produce the UI.

An undocumented software project takes more brainpower or smarter LLMs to maintain. A well documented one takes less and lets you use cheaper models. Use Gemini Pro or O3 to understand and document your project, then use Sonnet 4 for coding tasks.

Gemini 2.5 pro works well understanding big neatly organized codebase. O3 is the best model for understanding legacy codebase with messed up logic nobody bothers to touch, containing 3000 lines each file.

At this point, going back to UIKit backed with AI generated code is probably a better idea

In some cases Claude decides to go wild and do so many things at once with disastrous results. Running hard getting nowhere fast.

Vibe coding with strict code review. Small chunks of code at a time.

Sonnet 3.7 + Cursor + MCP is AGI with short term memory. It allows me to automate most of tedious refactoring work.

TypeScript projects have slow builds. But I'd rather have working software with slow builds than frustrated users.

4o-mini for simple refactors that spans on many files. sonnet 3.7 for refactors that require a bit more logic.

One thing I learned about building enterprise software: security is a feature, and it costs $$$ For example I need to pay $700/mo for Neon if I want to protect my db instance through IP allowlist. The security features for managed services are only available in high tier plans.

Claude Sonnet produces good UI design aside from code. Doesn’t produce fancy designs, but definitely better than my own. Super useful for projects that don’t have a designer.
