[simondotau]

True of anything anyone says about anything, including int_19h and simondotau.

I'm quite impressed with Grok 4.5 because its speed and single-task effectiveness feels better than anything else for a human-in-the-loop workflow. (For the stuff I do, I'm not interested in having AI race ahead of what I can oversee.)

All models do things in a way I personally disagree with at least some of the time. The "dumber" models sometimes fail to recognise how to fit a solution into existing code. The "smarter" models sometimes get too clever and over-engineer their solutions. Cleverness is occasionally interesting, but is just as likely to trigger a distracting rabbit hole where I spend time analysing whether something unexpected was a legit insight, or mere opinion.
