A self-taught early-stage founder recounts his journey from ChatGPT copy-paste coding to Antigravity, Claude Code, Opus, and now Fable 5.1. Burning $120 in promo credits on Fable + Sonnet, he got a complex API integration one-shot. He describes Fable 5.1 as feeling 'like an actual SWE, not an intern' — first drafts he cannot break — and asks whether upgrading to the x20 plan specifically for Fable 5.1 is worth it versus Opus.
