Really? Claude Code upgrades for me have been pretty seamless- basically better quality output, given the same prompts, with no discernible downsides.
The intuition just doesn't hold. The LLM gets trained and retrained by other LLM users so what works for me suddenly changes when the LLM models refresh.
LLMs have only gotten easier to learn and catch up on over the years. In fact, most LLM companies seem to optimise for getting started quickly over getting good results consistently. There may come a moment when the foundations solidify and not bothering with LLMs may put you behind the curve, but we're not there yet, and with the literally impossible funding and resources OpenAI is claiming they need, it may never come.
