I so want this to be true, but for the kind of coding I do (not Flask apps), it's definitely not the case. Like I said, SOTA models just barely, barely work for me. My projects are usually 100k-1M lines of Rust or Go.
Out of curiosity, what do you find the SOTA models are simply incapable of when it comes to your Rust and Go projects?
The SOTA models now work really well in my codebases, but that's only been since Opus 4.5/4.6-ish. Prior to that, and with current local models, they simply couldn't work holistically and would just thrash around. Now I feel as if SOTA are approaching my coding levels if not surpassing it. I still need to guide on architecture, but I can see that going away within the next year or so as well.
Thanks, that makes sense. When you said they “barely, barely worked” for you I assumed that meant something different.
Oh yeah, that makes sense, sorry! I meant they just started working well and did not until relatively recently.
