Long-time CC user. Got a LOT of mileage out of sonnet and opus 4.5 last year. This year my company has put devs on max plans so started defaulting to Opus for everything. Did this all the way through 4.6 and now 4.7. With 4.7 I would hit limits pretty quickly whenever I kicked off parallel work. It is also insanely slow. For context I feel i do my best work when I am focused, reviewing model implementations and actively testing. With Opus 4.7 the delays started to break my flow pretty badly. Recently decided to switch to sonnet as the implementer. Opus analyzes requirements and writes up an implementation playbook (in to-do list format) Sonnet just implements in a loop. Instructed to commit after every task completion (with tests included), run in a loop and only stop around 300k context window usage. It is seriously powerful. I can test things as it goes, it moves fast and makes very few mistakes. I’m curious if I’m leaving something on the table here but frankly this feels like the way Claude code was always meant to work. A 45 min session to implement 3 basic features feels insane when you can do 3x as much in 30 minutes with Sonnet. submitted by /u/juanloco
