I don't see any meaningful performance improvements in those paid models anymore.
They all roughly produce junior developer-level code, continue to have mental breakdowns in their “thinking” stage, occasionally hallucinate things, delete pieces of code/docs they don’t understand or don’t like, use 1.5 times the necessary words to explain things when generating docs and so on.
I'm now testing "avoid sycophancy, keep details short and focus on the facts" in my AGENTS.md files.
- podnami 6mo agoThis is snark. Since when has a junior level dev managed to debug and deploy say a cloudformation stack and follow up with notes under 3 minutes?

- nathan-hello 6mo agopersonifying ai is incredibly cringe no matter how weird your comparison is
- gjsman-1000 6mo agoImagine a drunk developer. Sparks of brilliance while missing obvious trees.

- xXSLAYERXx 6mo agoI know of a publicly traded company which in its early years was built on beer. Literally. 3 guys in a co-working space in Cambridge, MA. Beer fueled their progress. 15 years later the software is still the backbone of the org.
- jubilanti 6mo agoIt's an analogy.
- nathan-hello 6mo agothat’s the personification i’m referring to, yes. incredibly weird.
