The company I work for, the code Opus 4.8 is able to generate, is higher quality than what was left behind by 10+ years of contractors that have come and gone.

I understand that some developers produce very poor code. Maybe in some companies it's the norm. Luckily for me, I've seldom worked alongside such developers.

In my company, the code Opus 4.8 is able to generate appears competent, but if you dig a bit, it contains way more timebombs than anything I've seen the team members develop.
