Claude Mythos benchmarks released. LOL at everyone saying we hit a plateau a couple months back.
93.7% on SWE Bench Verified. Enjoy unemployment

Are you a child?
Why the hostile tone?
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Nope, just laughing at all the people that were coping and saying “it’s just a tool!”, “ha it can’t count the r’s in strawberry”, and “the models are plateauing!”
Your career is rapidly dying and y’all need to admit it
yall_gotta_move@reddit
Why, though? What is your personal stake in this?
What makes it worth your time?
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Because y’all thought you were special making way more than everyone else and having your cushy jobs.
Guess what buddy, you’re gonna be making $50k working like the rest of us now
webzonenavigator@reddit
you need to develop some class consciousness. we are on the same side. the reason we endure such strained and unstable employment is because capital is fucking us. we, tech employees, are not fucking you. we are brothers. remember this
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Yeah your kind didn’t remember how much of “brothers” we are when they were raking in $300k+ a year and living the good life while regular Americans make $50k a year
MrKnives@reddit
Didn't you couple days ago say you are a software engineer. Are you mentally ok?
alexforpostmates@reddit
This reeks of someone talking shit about a club they were too lame to get into.
yall_gotta_move@reddit
Funny, I don't recall saying anything like it.
What is it that you do for a living, OP?
Why do you keep dodging this question?
malakeyyy@reddit
Yep so a child got it
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Oh well. At least my career isn’t over 😆
yall_gotta_move@reddit
Ok. What is your career?
ikarus2k@reddit
2 days ago he was commenting
Weird behavior from OP
Tedy_Duchamp@reddit
He’s likely mentally ill.
mvpmvh@reddit
Trolling, apparently
LoveSpiritual@reddit
Obviously was never “software developer”.
taelor@reddit
You are still being hostile
Ok-Hospital-5076@reddit
I don’t get the smugness and glee people show on other people losing their livelihoods. Truly pathetic.
ginamegi@reddit
It’s just people like the OP who are miserable in their day to day lives and can only endure it by trying to bring other people down to their level
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Nope, I love seeing smug assholes like devs making $200k+ thinking they’re hot shit get hit with reality that they’re no better than regular people making $50k a year
ginamegi@reddit
I make less than that and spend a lot of my time volunteering at the local animal shelter and fostering. And I’m excited that Claude is getting better because it’s been ass lately at work so maybe it can finally help me out more and stop generating so much slop
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Sucks for you, you got scammed. Could easily cleared $200k while the market was hot.
That’s over now
throwaway19293883@reddit
Damn you’re a fucking douche
Jaeriko@reddit
People are more than their wage. Plenty of us are making regular wages, so even that inherently flawed position is incorrect.
yall_gotta_move@reddit
Are these smug assholes in the room with us right now?
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
As a matter of fact, yes.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/s/AZvzN216q1
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Because y’all were the smug ones saying shit like “it’s just a tool, it can’t replace me!” While working from home and taking in $300k a year to work 20 hour weeks.
Welcome to the real world
janyk@reddit
No one was making that much money, and even so, how is it smug? No one was expressing that they were better than anyone else.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
People were absolutely making that much money.
janyk@reddit
I don't know a soul who was making that much money. Average pay for a dev where I am is like 70 to 80k.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Look up any top 100 tech company on levels.fyi
janyk@reddit
I'm not in the US, and those 100 companies represent the minority of software devs in the US - let alone the world.
Also, levels.fyi's data is shite
Ellowrath@reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/accelerate/s/UK9eo3bzNk
This you?
yall_gotta_move@reddit
LOL.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
No that’s AI!
Jaeriko@reddit
Even if this is realistically applicable to general development peipelines (it's not), at best case youre celebrating incredible societal disruption and human suffering in support of the dominance of mega corporations that nobody could ever realistically compete with ever again for lack of data infrastructure resources.
Youre making up a success story for yourself like you've beaten us at a game, but even in your most triumphant imagining you've still just yourself a slave. That is truly sad, and I hope you can introspect on that at least a little bit.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Lol. See you in the ration line!
Jaeriko@reddit
Genuinely, this is mental illness and you need help. Please reach out to a therapist or something, you have so much more than this hate inside you. Good luck.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
😆
LoveSpiritual@reddit
Did a software developer murder a family member of yours?
Ok-Hospital-5076@reddit
Haha oh so you are one of those. Instead of advocating for everyone to be uplifted and live a life of dignity and comfort, you wish everyone to be as miserable as you.
Sorry to burst your bubble, even if i go broke I wont be as miserable as you because i am not this venomous. Enjoy being bitter and pathetic 🤟🏻.
February_29th_2012@reddit
The chip on your shoulder is so obvious it’s embarrassing.
drcforbin@reddit
Bitter much?
QuitTypical3210@reddit
It’s over what job can I do now
mechkbfan@reddit
Lol no it's not
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Plumber
mechkbfan@reddit
Posts like this highlight just how little you know of AI and software development.
You do realize there's been an increase in demand for software development since AI came out?
Lastly, I'm using Opus at 81%. It still writes absolutely terrible code that technically works, and hallucinating often enough.
I appreciate that it'll improve but I have zero hopesb it'll do my job at all
engineered_academic@reddit
This type of attitude will not be tolerated here.
ExperiencedDevs-ModTeam@reddit
Rule 9: No Low Effort Posts, Excessive Venting, or Bragging.
Using this subreddit to crowd source answers to something that isn't really contributing to the spirit of this subreddit is forbidden at moderator's discretion. This includes posts that are mostly focused around venting or bragging; both of these types of posts are difficult to moderate and don't contribute much to the subreddit.
ForeverIntoTheLight@reddit
Unless it is massively, and I mean orders of magnitude, better than Claude Opus 4.6, my career is not disappearing anytime soon.
And oh, if it really is all it claims to be, no need to be so smug. You did see that video of Chinese kung-fu robots? Soon we will have clankers with enough strength and dexterity to do blue-collar work, and which don't whine about raises, unions or overtime pay.
Guess who your employer would prefer, your entitled self or a clanker that obediently does what it is told?
WolfNo680@reddit
this is the most surface level ragebait I've ever seen 😭
mx_code@reddit
I can’t fathom what emptiness could motivate someone to post something like this using this kind of tone.
Are you that frustrated? There’s a million reasons why devs won’t be replaced but it’s not worth the time.
Go to r/cscareerquestions and you’ll get the reactions your hearts desire, any real experienced dev just knows this advances make their paychecks even bigger… at the end of the day we are the ones that know how to maximize value produced by these new tools
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
😆😆the cope is real
RemindMe! 6 months
mx_code@reddit
The only cope on display in this post are in your comments.
It’s simply sad, i guarantee you if you have discipline you can become a full time developer. And i guarantee you the proffession will not dissappear.
Otherwise you can keep wasting your time spewing hate and frustration on reddit.
This is not even a hypothetical, if in 6 months you are still making only $50k, you can look back at this post as the moment where you could have made a real change in ur lofe. The good thing is you have set all the reminders for yourself already
Naibas@reddit
Don't feed the trolls, else they will lose the ability to be self sufficiant.
ginamegi@reddit
Alright man
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Sucks to suck 🤷🏼♂️
ginamegi@reddit
My paycheck says otherwise
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
Lmao! RemindMe! 6 months
ginamegi@reddit
RemindMe! 7 months
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
I look forward to it!
Naibas@reddit
Can't wait to tell my kids about the great programmer extinction of 1952 when the first compiler launched.
Jaeriko@reddit
I dont understand why you'd be so gleeful about this, regardless of your position on the usefulness of LLMs in modern programming pipelines.
I mean, even if you take this at face value and assume it actually fully replaces all developers, why would you celebrate the complete collapse of one of the last "middleclass" job markets? I just cant wrap my head around the poisonous mindset you must be living with to find joy in this.
Tedy_Duchamp@reddit
These people contribute nothing to society. They are failures and are bitter about it.
Devastion@reddit
Cool, but in my experience the AI tools are not anything more than faster code writing and helping with testing, code analysis etc. I happen to work with multiple microservices (10+), multiple message brokers (don’t ask me why), databases etc. When an incident happens on prod or even some more simple bug task it AI still doesn’t help. But surely it will smash me in algos.
LoveSpiritual@reddit
If you think this is game over, it shows you’re definitely not an experienced developer. And your glee here is… puzzling, to put it nicely.
jmclondon97@reddit (OP)
😆 oh buddy it’s over.
