I strongly agree on that being the release where these tools got good enough to substantially speed up my professional work. I have to admit I was super skeptical of AI coding until then.

Your skepticism led you to underrate the usefulness until then. Those who have been using agentic coding for the last 2 years can tell you Opus 4.6 was not a step change in quality, it was mostly a step change in the Overton Window and narrative.

for me (might be because of the language im using) i had a substantial bump around september and a huge bump around January.

in my stuff now i use an OT library that claude put finishing touches on in September.
