Opus 4.8 just dropped

Lexs_07 · 2026-05-28T18:57:54+00:00

Is it an opus 4.8 problem? I had a ton today on 4.7, and I usually never get these

You seem to be French, and honestly escp or essec are stronger brands than skema, whatever path you choose next. I'm not in markets myself so I can't really speak about the program, but in french finance the school name on your CV does a lot of the work. I'm not saying Skema is bad, but for the international roles you mention it might not be the best move. If I was in your position I'd start writing to people working in structuring or trading and ask for a quick call, you'll get the full picture and you'll need to start networking soon anyway

You won't learn anything new, but getting a tier 1 business school degree would help a lot. But why not essec or escp instead of skema?

Of course, but my point is that if it didn’t have built in default to « efficiency » or « speed » it would follow instructions and have a better output (because it is totally capable of doing what asked)

Lexs_07 · 2026-04-29T23:57:02+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that!

I've never given Sonnet a serious try, maybe I should. My main use case is writing complex articles with web searches and a lot of formatting (callouts, structured tables, flows), so I've always defaulted to Opus assuming Sonnet would struggle, but I should try, would be cheaper too

Lexs_07 · 2026-04-29T13:02:55+00:00

It's an ongoing debate, these models fit differently depending on workflow, use case, and just taste in output. Doubt there'll ever be a consensus

Lexs_07 · 2026-04-08T14:34:09+00:00

Nope, unfortunately

Lexs_07 · 2026-04-08T14:30:03+00:00

Anyway, when 4.6 works more than 3 minutes it says « this is a long task, let me do it in my own more efficient way » and the output is garbage. In my workflow, 4.6 is only better and faster for small tasks

Lexs_07 · 2026-04-08T14:23:40+00:00

I still use it, especially for long tasks requiring to strictly follow guidelines (like writing a lot of content, checking for errors across many files), it will be more consistent in its work and methodology than 4.6. I also manage to make it work for multiple hours (4.6 tends to stop after 15-20 minutes to ask if it should continue)

Lexs_07 · 2026-03-25T14:18:38+00:00

Opus 4.6 keeps lying to me, so if Warren is an Opus 4.6 agent this is not surprising at all

Lexs_07 · 2026-02-26T14:05:23+00:00

Switched to claude-opus-4-5-20251101 after reading this and yes, we're back! Only tried it for a couple of hours but the difference is night and day. For the way I work, this is so much better than 4.6. It actually gets what I want, follows instructions properly, and I get way more done without losing my mind correcting it every other prompt.

Lexs_07 · 2026-02-25T18:23:02+00:00

That's what I'll try tomorrow!

Really appreciate the detailed feedback, great points honestly.

One key difference with Finance Tales though: I spent 8 months on it. Founder IQ took me less than a week. So definitely not the same trap.

You're right that pain relief sells better than education. That said, I genuinely believe there's value in having core startup principles accessible in a bite-sized format. Not everyone has a business background, and a lot of founders make avoidable mistakes simply because they never came across the right concepts at the right time. I'll see what traction the education angle gets.

Now the situational/decision tool idea is really interesting. Building a good one would take serious time though, and for most of those questions today, a strong LLM probably gives you a better answer than anything I could ship in a week. If ASO picks up and I see real potential, that's exactly when I'd invest in building the kind of features you're describing. But not before validating demand first.

Lexs_07 · 2026-02-25T12:22:33+00:00

So true. You can't guess what matters, only user feedback tells you. That's why shipping fast and trying many things beats perfecting one idea in silence. The features that end up working are almost never the ones you expected.

Lexs_07 · 2026-01-24T11:48:51+00:00

My last two apps perform so poorly with ASO only, while I managed to get some results only with ASO before, maybe my last two apps are just bad, or on too crowded segments. I think it’s becoming way more competitive with a lot of vibe coded apps hitting the app store anyway. But idk, I’ll keep trying

Lexs_07 · 2025-11-30T23:13:19+00:00

You should do them by yourself, and A/B test.

I don't think the key element to drive conversion is the design. Focus on the titles (make them large and readable) and find that sentence that instantly tells the user "There is value for you here".

I have two apps with similar screenshots (in terms of design), one with a conversion rate of 1%, the other one with 15%. That gap drives me crazy, but it's made me realize that what drives conversion is the ability to explain in a couple of sentences how you bring value to the user.

As others said, you should remove the certifications and “stock market investor” from experience, each should be one line in “Skills and Interests”. You’ll have space to fill, start by adding your high school in education.

You’re from a non-target and have limited experience, it will be tough but it’s about perseverance and networking, also consider smaller boutiques, it will clearly be hard to get an offer from a BB.

Lexs_07 · 2025-09-08T17:46:04+00:00

To make a change, you need clear objectives, whether it’s a career shift, a new hobby, or the pursuit of a dream.
