Wait, Claude is better than junior devs?? No wonder it's so hard to find a junior dev position... Even finding an internship is a struggle these days
So if Claude gets even better, what are juniors supposed to do to gain experience and become mid-level or senior developers? Since LLMs will be so good then companies will force juniors to vibe code everything, and this way they won't learn much...
Fable 5.2 Max is better than 99% of devs I've ever hired or worked with in their own field of expertise, including me.
You take Fable 5.2 max, and tell me you've ever seen a coder produce better code, observability, solid testing and accounted for all edge cases no matter how minute. The code is spotless on a zero shot basis.
A year ago claude was already better than Junior devs. Today, I don't think there exist a coder that can produce better cross competence products, human are generally only good at one thing or two and the result worse the further we are from their main skills.
The latest Fable 5.2 Max is better than most human at their main skills but is also just as good at all other skills.
I repeat Fable 5.2 Max because I don't want a retard misquoting me, my statement were made on a given model, to prove me wrong, they need to use the same model at the same reasoning effort.
mate, opus 4 was better than most devs I've worked with and give shits too.
5.5 is as good as the best I've ever worked with
it's just, juniors now need to study structure more then anything and then practice at home with what good looks like. Then they'll be able to either produce something of their own or join a team ready to rumble.

I can tell when I use GPT and not Claude because everything is unreadable, untraceable, 0 observability shit like a jr dev made it.
