Feels like they’re just surfing the name recognition wave at this point.

A lot, but these I still use a lot

A grocery app tailor made for me and my wife, offline first, seamless instant sync, barcode scanning, GPS/location hints

A macOS native high performance infinite canvas scribbling app for use with my Wacom for thinking through ideas

Lots of stuff for one pretty much finished video game, and currently lots of stuff for my new video game

Why should we say stop?

Agreed, these are my vibes too. It feels much better to do planning and strategy and architecture etc. with Opus 4.7 than GPT-5.5. GPT just feels like a robot that gets instructions and does exactly that. Opus feels like an almost human that sometimes has actually good ideas and pushes back on bad ideas.

So for now its planning/architecture/strategy -> Opus. Pure coding -> GPT.

Helps with agentic coding that GPT is much roomier with the tokens you get.

Oh, so that was actually a Token Per Second report! Wild!

I don't think they think. I still use them a lot despite that, because they are very powerful parameterised code generators.

AI is much faster at taking an idea and creating a working proof of concept than any human I've seen.

Not saying it's good engineering, but leave that to the gardeners.

But then, if an agent picks the best response, how would you know that that is reliable?

Obviously you have multiple agents justify why they picked a certain response and then create another agent that picks the solution with the best justification.

You could get the agents to output something structured and then use a deterministic test if you're worried about that.

I also have a small private app that technically could have been a PWA.

It’s not a PWA because the UX is just always inferior. Even though we’ve come really far in browser UIs, the browser is still very clunky compared to the smoothness of a native app.

And I like nice to use software.

And if not losing, the battery dies in 2-3 years, so you'll have to buy new anyway.

Eh, mine are four years old and still going strong. Battery still lasts longer than I need it to.
