Since its behind an account wall, I can't tell if they are saying that Opus made the clone for cheaper or that Opus failed? It appears that Fable did far more "work" based on output tokens.

Aside: We should just ban Twitter links. Nobody should be required to make an account to view content on here.

I’m confused. The post is a long description of merging one branch into another in a clean way, done by agents, at a scale never seen before. Bravo.

Does it do anything now that it didn’t before?

Who’s this for?

Why did it matter?

Is the world better now?

Unfortunately the post doesn’t discuss outcomes so I’m having a hard time seeing how the team’s $800 was best spent on this vs. some other priority.

It's really unusual that developers would rather write behind a twitter authwalled link than to write to their own site and just tweet about it.

If you can spend $800 on Fable in a day, you can launch a fantastic looking/performing personal site in 15 minutes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Perhaps Hacker News could ban this style of link to help encourage that?

This reads like AI-generated slop, flagging.
