I don't think that's accurate about the mood on HN, but a lot of us have been coding almost entirely with frontier models for a long time now.

I haven't written a line of code myself since March. I've shipped over 100,000 lines since then. And coding isn't even what I spend the majority of my effort on.

It really works. I just had Opus 5.5 write a distributed load testing service on Friday and it's been using what it wrote to iterate and diagnose problems over the weekend.
