Claude Opus is killing it... I don't get all the complaints
A user reports positive experiences with Claude Opus, contrary to common complaints. They utilized it for a complete site data overhaul, generating tags and filters from content. The user documented phases for minimal involvement and set up jobs to prompt GPT, Claude, and Gemini, comparing results to select the best. They sent data and build prompts to a Claude Code session on staging, avoiding manual work, and found it effective for various tasks without issues like "babbling or oddball word choices."
This report offers a contrasting perspective on Claude Opus's performance, unlike many user complaints, by detailing its successful application in a complex site data overhaul.

I'm not saying people aren't having issues with it. But I'm not, and I don't get it.
Reskinned a website's design using only screenshots, had it built with code, and automated its own checks with headless Firefox on the VM.
Planned a complete site data overhaul — tags and filters all generated from content — and documented the phases so it would run with minimal involvement on my part. Used the ops tools to SSH into the AI MCP server I built and set up jobs that prompt GPT, Claude, and Gemini with search, compare the results, and use the best one. Sent all the data and build prompts to the Claude Code session running on staging, instead of doing it manually like I used to.
Wrote the deliverables for a client meeting.
Recovered missing content from an old SQL dump to backfill post content.
Issues that came up across the various VMs were resolved by Claude Code, running on my workstation as project manager — only prompting me for approvals or reviews.
Multiple tasks ran in parallel across multiple code sessions on my workstation, all managed from one chat session on my laptop.
All done in the last three days.
And that was just a side project. On the IT side, I've been winning new clients and projects, all planned with proposals written in Cowork. Troubleshooting gets done faster than ever.
I even lost my Bitwarden master password, and it helped me recover; found a bypass using a logged-in Chrome session to export without the master password, converted the JSON export for Keeper Commander, then renamed and organized everything by folder.
I've used it for everything, with none of the babbling or oddball word choices everyone complains about.
