No. Opus 4.8 still writes bad code, just like every other time AI boosters have claimed "but the newest models are really good".
- 9cb14c1ec0 5mo agoThe code I get out of Opus 4.8 is better than the code produced by most programmers I've met.
- Quothling 5mo agoYour experience is apparently different than mine. I went from using our corporate tool to copilot cowork when it became available to us. From opus 4.6 to 4.8 and there has been a massive difference. It's ridiculously good at programming in the right hands, but the right hands is frankly becoming more and more automatable as well, since you can input design documents, compliance policies and allowed packages and it'll do fine. If you want, you can go through my history and you'll find that I haven't exactly been a fan of AI, but it's silly to deny that it's gotten good.
