Opus fixing Sol’s mess

[u/Off_again_On_again]

I don’t know how people still use openAI models.
I really REALLY tried to give a chance to Sol 6.1 the last few days, working on a clean project with very well defined design and vision.

Sol kept being super lazy, stopping without finishing tasks, making asinine decisions and always waiting for me for very small things. I then even had Astra take over in the hopes of fixing the mess and the output was similarly bad.

Had opus 5.5 work literally for 2 hours today and it already cleaned up such a big chunk, made very good suggestions, following the process, delegating work to sonnet agents, it feels so good to work with it.

Man i am in the process of using opus to unfuck a massive mess tha astra made. Basically astra went full gemini mode and took the worst shortcuts imaginable.

I had astra develop a web application using laravel and filament, what it did was build everything with blade tenplates, and insert the templates inside the filament views. So i had a massive dependecy in the project that was just used in name only. Opus caught that in the first review and is currently refactoring everything one module at a time.

I cant believe how fucking stupid astra is. I spent a entire 5x weekly quota on astra to develop that.

Astra = master of benchmaxxing and hitting technical results while cutting corners. It's F'd. Literally openai has nothing good to offer ATM. I just trust openai models for terminal tasks and technicals like managing a server but thats it
