Grab the last 5,000 lines of code you wrote, and that you thought was bug-free. Run it through Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.1 and post what it finds (and be honest about it, given that nothing is at stake but an Internet argument.)

This is a poor test. Parity would be utilizing the models to implement the functionality of the 5k lines and comparing the outputs.

When's the last time you did that?

Never. I'm also not the OP you responded to. I'm just pointing out the flaw in your proposed test.

Try it, then get back to me about whether the test is "flawed." I guarantee that a frontier model will find more bugs in your code than you will find it a similar volume of code it wrote. I absolutely guarantee it.

Every developer needs to experience this particular flavor of ego death. Me, you, everybody.

You seem like a deeply unpleasant person.

(Shrug) HN isn't a place where ignorance should be celebrated; there are plenty of other venues for that.
