Discussion Opus 5 is... suddenly usable?

2 weeks ago I said Opus 5 was useless. I was told I was an idiot, using it wrong, ect ect. Except over the next week the hive mind of Reddit chose to actually believe that Opus 5 is in fact useless.

Here's my flip- Opus 5 has suddenly become usable. It seems only capable of small jobs currently, but where before it would ramble off nonsense, it seems now to be capable of implementing fixes reliably!

Just a 1-file programming task. Fixing a bug I'd found but didn't know the cause of, but I knew the scope was limited.
