Yeah, I agree. The first time something felt magical about the results themselves. That's it!

I've been building Cargo-for-C (https://github.com/tspader/spn), and the difference between Fable and Opus was already astounding. Fable was the first time that I could point a model at a piece of code I'd written and expect it to make it meaningfully better rather than a hard pattern match to whatever mistakes it had.

5.1 so far seems like another leap, which is really surprising. I threw it at a few bigger features I've been designing for a while, and it came back with some extremely thoughtful wrinkles in the design that I'd legitimately not considered. Which, OK, package managers and build executors and compiling C/C++ is pretty well trodden ground, but my thing is very different from everything that exists, and I was very surprised it was able to understand all that context so deeply and intuitively

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure you're also just a regular person writing about the stuff you like and regardless of whether you end up agreeing with me or deciding that, no, that was exactly the tone you wanted, I appreciate the thought.

I promise I'm not normally uptight like this, but there's a difference between having a laugh and whatever this is. Like I said, this feels (a) legitimately angry and (b) in a spit flecked enraged way that has become popular. I guess if you're cool with people calling whatever you work on clown-car turboslop then more power to you.

This prose feels extremely angry and ungenerous; abstractly, I agree with a lot of the points, but when I read this:

> My conclusion is that OpenCode is clown-car turboslop with a security posture of “let me bend over for you daddy”. Everyone using it should stop using it.

I do not want to keep reading. There are regular people who wrote this software. When did it become normal to talk about open source like this? How would you feel if someone wrote this about some software that you wrote? Reading this article made me feel extremely gross
