Dev raves about vibe coding with Opus 5.5: 'like a high-IQ friend who gets everything right'
marclou · x · 2026-10-19
Developer Marc Lou says vibe coding with Opus 5.5 is "insane" — the model behaves like a super high-IQ friend who gets everything right without bothering you with details. His verdict: "80/20 AGI," meaning it already delivers a near-AGI experience for most everyday coding tasks. A subjective but telling first-hand take on how much trust frontier models now command in real coding workflows.
