> Fable is better than most staff engineers at my FAANG.

While this wouldn’t entirely surprise me, my experience is just not that. Using Claude and fable, it regularly (poorly) recreates features that exist inside our codebase. Sure, I could give way more initial context but at a certain point I’ve given so much context that I would have been faster writing the code myself, or I could have literally handed it to even a fresh graduate to write.
