I’ve written before about how November 2025 was an inflection point for coding agents—the point where Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.1 crossed a tipping point that meant their respective coding agents …

Like this is just the most asinine thing in my opinion. The pitch got AI is that it can “make whatever you want” and these people don’t even have a single original idea in their heads. They settle for slop because slop is what they want, and they’ve convinced themselves this is how everyone else sees it, too
“An architect drew up the plans. But I told them I wanted the kitchen in the back on the south wall. And then when I looked at the first draft I told them I wanted the ground floor a LOT more open, and they made it that way. So yeah, I’m pretty much an architect.”
