Today when you compare:

1. Fable as software designer and me as reviewer

2. Me as software designer

3. Me as software designer and Fable as reviewer

Then in my opinion, best design comes from 3, then 2, then 1.

Have you seen Opus 5.5 code? I don't know any developers who'd even remotely match it at a similar breadth. In fact I haven't found any discipline yet where it did _not_ develop an elegant solution, on top of achieving the goal. Senior human developers might be better in one or two specific niches maybe, but how many projects nowadays are confined like that

I do agree that Opus 5.5 (and Fable) beats me at coding, but I haven't found this to be the case yet in software design.
