huh, I felt like (gpt5.5 < opus4.8 << fable) in terms of code quality, and (g ~= o < f) in terms of pure pass rate; which one did you mean? curious about your typical workflow/tasks

I want to like gpt5.5 but it's like an evil genie: bugs are fixed, features are implemented, you are now a proud owner of a 2kloc file with a single function that makes you wish you had keybindings for horizontal scrolling

GPT 5.5 regularly got things correct where opus 4.8 got things wrong. Just today, it was launching an executable and putting the environments after the launch. It should have been

Env1=val env2=val ./executable ....

But instead it did

./executable

Then set the envvars. Chatgpt 5.5 made no such mistake.
