Your comment made me think that people have been happily importing hundreds to thousands of dependencies into their projects that were written by some random guys on the internet, but they've just now started to become concerned they don't understand the code they're shipping.

How do you get 50 contributors on a project with 116 stars that's 3 months old? There are no PR's? Only one issue?

I feel like "good enough" was reached around Opus 4.6 - 4.8. All I wanted after that is improved speed, continued tweaks to the tooling to get the most out of it and quality of life features added.

I remember in the Windows 95/98 days asking my friend for his IP address and then browsing through my windows explorer to his mum's fully shared windows C drive. She had her computer plugged directly into the modem and was using ICS to share the net to my friends computer.

I sent them a screenshot of her shared drive through ICQ, and not long after she bought a router.

not that crazy. Opus 5 is like working with an insufferable, arrogant colleague that speaks another language. It's mentally draining dealing with someone like that for 8 hours a day. I'm back on 4.8, and it feels like working with a friendly colleague again. Life's too short to work with Opus 5 every day :-)

I haven't had time to complain on here because I spend all my time trying to work out wtf Opus 5 is talking about and googling words I've never seen or heard in 40 years as a native English speaker.

It works fine for me. Only issue I have is that it has me constantly reaching for the dictionary.

You may want to consider the incomes of developers outside the US, students, unemployed. $200/month is a lot to a lot of people.

Well according to the people in this thread it was previously impossible for bad actors to host a website, and CloudFlare has now given them this unique ability.

> VPNs do not allow you to connect two devices directly, they have to go through the VPN

Not true. Depends on the VPN protocol.

I think that holds true for any industry where the consequences of failure are no more than loss of money.

> risk appetite, motivation, grit, and patience.

This is the moat. It was before AI and still is.
