I'm a 25yr software engineer. I use the latest claude everyday. It's garbage, slings slop 95% of the time, and requires non stop correction in nearly everything it does.

Just stop wasting time/money on Claude. If you already know what you're doing, use a super cheap model like DeepSeek Flash with thinking off to generate the code you want.

There is absolutely no reason (IMO) that a skilled SWE should ever need a model like Opus.
