Reading the article about Nexus that Obie has posted I got absolutely struck. Yes, it can be said without a shade of doubt that the modern way of building software, the late-2025-way with Opus 4.5 in the picture, is markedly different from the one we operated in for the last decade (or more). I haven’t been sitting on my hands either. One of my smaller pursuits, now that I am a proud self-employed raconteur, has been moneymaker - a piece of kit I wanted for all the business aspects of the said raconteurship. Think: basic accounting bank statements and balances invoicing time tracking …all of that - across several projects, clients and managing entities And, out of principle, I’ve decided to take my chances and release the reins - let the models “drive” the application much more than I did in the past 6 months or so. Because it is important to learn, first and foremost - how to care less about code. And my experience has not been dissimilar from what Obie describes, with a few important differences. But what struck me much stronger is how other humans fit into this. Let me explain. If you squint, you will notice one element missing from Obie’s story: other team members.
