Only a matter of time now until we can run models with Opus like capabilities on our own hardware.

This will probably when the bubble bursts..

IMO we are reaching the point where AI models are simply a commodity. Opus (since ~4.6) is sufficient for everything I tried coding wise. I use it to write features (but I review and understand every line it spits out) and to review code.

For code review I also still review everything myself, but use Opus to catch stuff I missed and to judge if a PR is even ready for me to review.

After just updating Claude Code to the latest version I thought about picking Fable (the bigger model) instead of Opus.

But I have no reason to. Opus does everything I want it to do. It could do it faster - that would be an improvement. But for the normal stuff we reached the point where better models are not worth it IMO.

There still might be cases where you want to throw Fable at it.

Yup - IMO it’s just the wrong tool for the job.

Let’s hope macOS 27 fixes liquid glass. For now I’m not updating.

+1 exact same situation.

having Tahoe on my MacBook made me appreciate Sequoia on my mac Studio. A real downgrade..

JaggerJo — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:55:20 +0000

Yeah - It feels similar to me.

Why share something that anyone can just “prompt into existence”?

Architecture wise and also just from a code quality perspective I have yet to encounter AI generated code that passes my quality bar.

Vibe coding is great for a PoC but we usually do a full rewrite until it’s production ready.

————

Might be a hot take, but I don’t think people who can’t code should ship or publish code. They should learn to do it and AI can be a resource on the way.. but you should understand the code you “produce”. In the end it’s yours, not the AIs code.

It’s in progress. Most of Europe slept on that - thats true.

But pretty sure we’ll figure it out over the next decade.

I hope with change in leadership correction of these things will be possible again. Not just Alan Dye, but Tim Cook is rumored to leave in the next year too.

> ..Jobs would've crucified a few people

And rightfully so. Tahoe is not just a step back, but it throws away so many good design elements that have been there for ages - and for no good reason.

I really hope they revert most of the design changes in macOS 27. I don't mind the Liquid Glass - the other changes they made to expose/highlight Liquid Glass are the real issue.

IMO we reached peak design in 2013 with Mavericks.

Hah, really? If you enter recovery mode and install an OS via network it installs the OS the device originally shipped with, right?

On an Intel-based Mac:

- If you used Option-Command-R to start up from Internet Recovery, you might get the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.

- If you used Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from Internet Recovery, you might get the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.

Good that Alan Dye is no longer at apple. Liquid Glass on macOS is a mass. The icons, the floating side menus, the inconsistent corners, the new tabs in Safari..

On iOS it's totally fine, but on macOS it's a disaster. I've only updated one machine so far and will keep all others on Sequoia until this mess is resolved.

+1 I only updated my MacBook Air and really don’t like it. Will keep all other macs on Sequoia until macOS 27 hopefully fixes most of the issues.

Thats madness. Just remove deprecated functions after a reasonable time period.
