Title: Ask HN: How do you evaluate claims of “this model changes everything” in practice?

The release of every big model seems to carry the identical vibe: finally, this one crossed the line. The greatest programmer. The end of workflows and their meaning.

I’ve learned to slow myself down and ask a different question. What has changed in my day-to-day work after two weeks?

I currently make use of a filter with roughness.

Did it really solve a problem, or did it just make easy parts easier?

Has it lessened the number of choices or has it created new ones?

Have my review responsibilities decreased or increased?

Some things feel revolutionary on day one and then quietly fade into something that’s nice to have. Others barely wow, but stay around. ~

For those who've experienced a couple of cycles.

What indicators suggest that an upcoming release will be significant?

When do you alter your workflow, after how long?
