Not sure what your baseline was, if you said 10 years ago "in 2026 you'll be able to describe an app into the microphone, and the computer will write by itself in one day 50k lines of code to implement it, in a language and tech stack of your choosing, costing $200, and it will sort-of-work, and it will be at least as good as a junior-level programmer writing it from the same requirements in 3 months", most people would have said "implausible, that's at least 50 years away"

Though that doesn't sell hype anymore to inflate valuation. For more than a year now I was renting a limited GPU server for ~300$/month to learn, experiment, research and build internal tooling around open weight models. Thinking they are tools with potential and buying the exaggerated marketing are different things. My history of comments on HN lands often on both providing what I believe to be my insights working with LLMs and calling out exaggerations, stupid terms of service, and the other mishaps in the field.
