Fable 5 is back. My terminal still hands me the junior.
Fable 5 returned on 1 July — but Claude Code still defaults to Opus 4.8. A senior partner in one window, a junior developer in the other. Know which one you're talking to.
Yesterday's ad spend kept landing on today. Two bugs were wearing one costume.
A dashboard that's reliably off by a day isn't rounding. It's a timezone day-boundary problem — plus a self-heal that invented an estimate and showed it as a booked fact.
I designed an app in Claude before building it. Claude Code shipped it in a day.

Eighteen AI-generated ad images, eleven redos: hallucinated trademarks, drifting product geometry, and the QA ruleset that made an image model production-ready.
Claude Cowork said nobody replied. The reply was message 28.
An AI agent told me a thread had gone quiet. The reply was message 28 of 28, hidden by a truncated search. Why AI tools fail where they fetch reality, and the one-line rule that fixes it.
