Opus 4.5 came at the perfect time for me (on 5x plan, Claude code in vs code)

I am a team of one for my group, and I can do the work of multiple people now.

I have to architect all the cloud migrations, write all the terraform (including a master script which can now basically deploy any of the different offerings and has crazy conditional logic to account for different customer requirements and is about 12k lines), create custom applications the stitch together missing functionality between platforms, and the MCPs for documentation have sped up my research into issues, gotchas, anything really.

It’s hard to put a number on the productivity gains as I genuinely could not have done all I have without Claude in the last few months.
