This take lands for me. I'm a busy dad working a day job as a developer with a long backlog of side project ideas.

Hearing all the news of how good Claude Opus is getting, I fired it up with some agent orchestrator instruction files, babysat it off and on for a few days, and now have 3 projects making serious progress that used to be stale repos from a decade ago with only 1 or 2 commits.

On one of them, I had to feed Claude some research papers before it finally started making real headway and passing the benchmark tests I had it write.
