Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far

I've hand-rolled my own ultra-light ORM because the off-the-shelf ones always do 100 things you don't need.*

And of course the open source ones get abandoned pretty regularly. Type ORM, which a 3rd party vendor used on an app we farmed out to them, mutates/garbles your input array on a multi-line insert. That was a fun one to debug. The issue has been open forever and no one cares. https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/9058

So yeah, if I ever need an ORM again, I'm probably rolling my own.

*(I know you weren't complaining about the idea of rolling your own ORM, I just wanted to vent about Type ORM. Thanks for listening.)

This is the thing that will be changing the open source and small/medium SaaS world a lot.

Why use a 3rd party dependency that might have features you don't need when you can write a hyper-specific solution in a day with an LLM and then you control the full codebase.

Or why pay €€€ for a SaaS every month when you can replicate the relevant bits yourself?
