The problem with that is that if you told the person that used to run hand written notes for miles that you could use this small hand held device with no wires to send that message instantly across the world. They'd think it was too good to be true. The difficulty is that nearly everything in existence is pretty miraculous until you get used to it. Cynicism doesn't avoid scams. Proper investigation is how you avoid scams.
I call bullshit. In the time of the messenger, a phone was too good to be true. Yes, Arthur C Clarke (SF writer) said "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". But in our days, we can see the border lines of where the magic takes us. If you have any sort of knowledge, or even feel, of technology, you know where the current limits are. Science and technology work by slowly but gradually moving the fence posts of our knowledge. This don't move out kilometers at a jump, but meter by meter.
I think we as engineers should collectively boycott these companies that desperately try to get rid of us and are ready to do everything to achieve that. If your spouse instantly divorces you because their celebrity crush wrote to them, would you take them back when they find out it was a fake? Why work for someone who sees you as a pain point?
People actively work for their own demise... It's nothing new, an example outside development is gaming, people complain about GPU prices and yet 4090s sell like crazy, they are promoting/condoning expensive gpus
This proves that investors and billionaires are not really that smart and could be easily scammed if you know how to bullshit. A real engineer would ask to try it out first and evaluate it in person rather than watching a staged video or a BS power point.
Those types are almost never smart, they just like to think of themselves as smart. They're born into money and as it goes nowadays... it's easy to make money when you already have money. The ones who aren't complete idiots still make money, the others just crash. The first group which just scrapes along reaaaaaaaaaaly thinks highly of themselves, and reaaaaly low of normal people. To them, we're the scum that breathes their air, the hairy chimps that walk alongside them, and they're upset they need the chimp mass to get richer, because it's only the chimp mass who buys the trash they're peddling.
@@hqcart1 Yea, it's getting so many views for basically reposting his video. I at least made original critique, but my vid didn't get nearly as much attention.
Exactly, Devin did not scare any software engineers. Devin scared developers, which are not the same as software engineers. There is a difference between the two titles: one is an engineer who uses software to solve problems, and the other codes up someone else's solutions (usually on a much smaller scale).
I've seen over and over the last 40 years systems that promise to simplify programming. But I know as a professional how easy the trivial apps are and how hard complex programs are. Not worried yet.
But complex programs and problems are made up of smaller parts, and most of the smaller parts do end up being trivial. As an experienced dev you really shouldn't be worried yet because even if these tools are able to provide a holistic system design, clients and managers have little incentive to use them for that - it still requires understanding the tech and the stakes for errors are too high. Junior devs should absolutely be worried though, and for a couple years now.
I asked Copilot to recommend a FET for a 50 A inverter. It gave me the reference of a FET rated 36 A. Engineering jobs are safe, no glorified statistics algo is going to replace us. They can only fool managers, not reality itself.

Well, Cognition did just that. Funny how greed is beating greed. Let them eat themselves, I am actually on Cognitions side, if venture capitalists weren't so stupid and eager to fuck actual workers, then this wouldn't happen lol.
Don't forget the fines when they have dumped their entire database out on the dark web. If they are located in the EU, they might have to even close up shop.
Imagine spending more money on a tool that could bankrupt you from a company out to make a quick buck off of your FOMO and lack due dilligence, instead of just paying and training humans.
“It terrified Software Engineers” No honey, that was my ticket out of my field! I was ready to retire to the countryside and live a PEACEFUL life but NOOOOO Devin had to be worse than a newborn at heavy lifting…
Why coding projects take so long is because there's a disconnect between management and developers. The other reason is staff turnover. Developers now average two years with a company compared to a longer tenure in the past.
Yeah no it didn't. I have a hard time imagining anyone of my colleagues getting scared at this product specifically. LLMs in general mean a huge change of our industry, and getting scared at that isn't unexpected, but Devin's claims were always over reaching at best. Only investors with their spray and pray strategies would go for that. The chance of this being real was insignificant, and even if it were real, it would still have strong limitations inherent to machine learning by example.
To be fair most developers ignore documentation to, what's worse is often you learn more by reading forms or just using the thing than trying to read through the documentation.
didn’t scare any halfway decent software engineer. Comprehension is crucial, same reason that low cost foreign workers didn’t entirely replace us last time this scaremongering was attempted. Sure, scut work can be done by someone/something that understands boilerplate requirements. Try again with real world tasks that need detailed intercommunication… Claude Sonnet is really good, but even that still needs the task to be explained with emphasis on the crucial elements
There is an anime airing right now called Trillion Game which showcases 2 guys "lying" to investors to get money; what is fictional about the anime, is that they actually implement what they said later unlike companies in real life

Hey! I would love to see a video talking about why so many people hated the design of Windows 8, but from the perspective of a UI/UX designer, not just an unhappy user. If you could consider making one
Or they are smart and plan to sell to a big company, which might not be aware of how bad the product is. We'll just have to wait an see who is left holding the bucket.
Even when they were trying to hype up their product, they were still trying to hire software devs lol. Says a lot about their confidence in how well it works
To be clear, Claude's improvements over GPT for coding aren't marginal. I used to pay for ChatGPT and switched because it was a lot better and it turns out, I also like their paid tools and their writing style more.
I think that projects like Devin plays an important role of educating the non-technical people shaping IT sector known as "investors" and "shareholders". I think we need more Devins, more often.
In a way, we could thank Devin for burning investors looking to replace developers. Learning the hard way that you can't just automate human experience

5:21 that's not true, a human developer can cost much cheaper for 36 minutes. At least it's possible to hire juniors for less than $500 per month, just hire them remotely from a cheap country. That 150k per year would not be the average cost cut per developer even if their claim was true, because averages are screwed due for the few high paid ones but the replaced would be the ones with lower paidchecks.

only openAI can do quality stuff because they own the compute. If Devon uses tokes from another provided they will most likely use little compute to save costs
I don’t know what you’re complaining about, have you never worked with a “senior developer” who founded the code base 20+ years ago and haven’t learned a thing since? This is what Devin was trained on, and it matched up. Especially changing thousands of random lines of code, mixing formatting and function, and cramming it into one mega commit.
I'm OK with the tool being slower, when it works asynchronously from me and frees up my time. However, Devin fails a fair amount, and when it passes tests, it does so with point checks for "if null" right at the point of exception, which quickly spreads through the code.
I find it absurd how so many VCs do not aks simple questions like: What can this tool actually do? Or: How much resource would it take someone to build something similar? Basic investor questions. Only good stuff, that is hard to replace is valuable. You do not need to be an tech expert, you just have to hire one to investigate. And these people have billions.
You’re expecting them to act like a reasonable person. They’re not that. They max out greed and will act irrationally even if they know that, if they also expect others to do so and profit anyway. They’re their own tides of chaos that move massive wealth basically randomly between filthy rich leeches on the system.
