HiringCafe founder: Opus 5.5 one-shotted a job feed feature other models kept failing
alimir1 · reddit · 2026-09-25
The founder of HiringCafe shared an internal "benchmark" prompt he'd saved to test whether agents could one-shot a product feature they'd been putting off for months: a feed aggregating saved searches.
No model — neither Fable 5.1 nor Astra — produced something he liked in one shot. This morning, using the exact same prompt, Opus 5.5 nailed it instantly and the new layout (with search notification counts) shipped the same day. He credits the Anthropic team.
