• When evaling models, we anchor on the median task. But this is like how devs estimate the median task accurately but underestimate the mean which tends to be ~2x estimated (thus "double your estimates"). This applies to models too—we optimize for time/cost on median tasks. But it's the tail tasks that determine a project's completion, and reliable models (like Fable and Opus) are the diff between success and failure. Work with models as collaborators, not tools. Go beyond pair-programming, where given a narrow spec, the tool just executes in minutes. Instead, explain your intent and what succ…
