For sure. I was able to launch an MVP product in 3 days that would have previously taken me weeks. The frustrations with previous models going off the rails, getting stuck in loops, hacky solutions or bad code are almost completely gone with Opus.

I even tested it with the —-dangerously-skip-permissions flag, and it was pretty amazing being able to step away from the computer and come back 30 minutes later to a completely functional app. Still wouldn’t recommend that setting outside of a VM, on the off chance it rm -rf’s your whole drive.

I’m a mixture of both incredibly bullish on the technology itself, while also saddened about the future of the software development craft.
