I don't think this is true at all. I use opus 5 to build a small project. It bothers me that people simply handwave away concerns so easily.
The context size is still not nearly as big as it needs to be to store all the code an enterprise needs. And apparently as you increase the context size, there are more defects. So none of this is a solved problem. We are still in early days and there is a lot to be done.
I'm sure there are marketing people who will say "coding is solved" and other such snake oil but none of this is done, far from it!
That being said there is still enormous value in older models especially with tool calling which will let them access the latest data. I feel like we need to be a little more careful and the tools should cache in a smart way to avoid rework but clearly if we could have opus 4.8 level of work for like a one time payment of a system for local LLM it will have value for years into the future.
So I agree in a weird way that sol is good enough for certain tasks but really there is a long road ahead.
