Opus 4.7 came even quicker than I expected. It's like they are releasing a new Opus to distract us from Mythos that we all really want.

I am in the same boat with old code bases. I find younger developers that haven't maintained code for 10+ years seem to not appreciate simple code.

Colleague of mine once said it nicely:

I started writing simple code, then I gained experience and started writing sexy complex code, then I gained more experience and now I write simple code again.
