Yes. We needed to do a huge migration project that would otherwise have taken us six months and/or cost more than $100k. With the help of Opus 4.5 we finished it in three weeks for a total token cost of $1200. I posted about it last month.
So if you want to think of it in economic terms, some software consulting firm that would otherwise have made six figures instead did not. The vast majority of the money we would have spent stayed in our pocket. Slight decreases like this in “velocity of money” no doubt add up to significant sums.
This should show in up in higher margins for the company.
Is your company a software firm or considered something outside of pure software?
If they implement something with a not-so-great approach, they'll keep adding workarounds or redundant code every time they run into limitations later.
If you tell them the code is slow, they'll try to add optimized fast paths (more code), specialized routines (more code), custom data structures (even more code). And then add fractally more code to patch up all the problems that code has created.
If you complain it's buggy, you can have 10 bespoke tests for every bug. Plus a new mocking framework created every time the last one turns out to be unfit for purpose.
If you ask to unify the duplication, it'll say "No problem, here's a brand new metamock abstract adapter framework that has a superset of all feature sets, plus two new metamock drivers for the older and the newer code! Let me know if you want me to write tests for the new adapters."
