alt Hacker NewsToday. It produces mediocre code today. That is really it. What is the quality of that code compared to 1 year ago. What will it be in 1 year? Opus 6.5 is inevitable.

That's what they've been saying for years now. Seems like the same FSD marketing. Any day now it'll be driving across the country! Just you wait! -> Any day now it'll be replacing software developers! Just you wait! Frankly, the same people who fell for the former are falling for the latter.
Rather, to me it looks like all we're getting with additional time is marginal returns. What'll it be in 1 year? Marginally better than today, just like today is marginally better compared to a year ago. The exponential gains in performance are already over. What we're looking at now is exponentially more work for linear gains in performance.
It produces the same quality code as it did years ago. The difference now is that it tends to function
Still bad code though
And by bad I'm not making a stylistic judgement. I mean it'll be hell to work with, easy to add bugs, and slow to change
