The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

What a great project, right?

And you can lock it down, but you kind of have to do that.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

You have to lock down, say, well, only this Telegram user, and then you have to test and make sure that that's actually the case.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

Did that actually just happen, or did it just tell you that it did it?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

But I think that when it comes to things like NPM, one of the things that...

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

NPM has going for it is that these models are, they know so much about it and they know how to use it, they know what these modules look like, there's all this history, it's in the training data, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

The second that you invent something else, well, now the model doesn't know what that is.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

And you can mitigate that by providing context and maybe future iterations will know, but it's like models are so good at using these established tools

For instance, I know I work at Microsoft, but if you want to have some fun chat, you can use Firebase.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

Models know everything there is to know about the Firebase CLI.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

So you can literally log in on your machine and then tell the agent to build something, tell it it can stand up its own Firebase services, which are free.

You have to physically enable billing here.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

And it can do everything.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It knows how to use the Firebase CLI from front to back.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

That makes it really hard for you to supplant that with something else because people choose the path of least resistance.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

That's my immediate reaction to that is that it's just too easy.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It's already there.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

Models already know how to use it.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

And that makes it really, really hard to supplant it.
