hey Marko, if you're switching to light mode when the sun is out, I recommend setting vscode's themes to automatically switch to white theme when the general OS theme preferences is changed, just go to setting and search "workbench: preferred light color theme" and set both themes for dark and light mode have a wonderful day and take care 🌞

About Devin, i heard an analogy from "Jacob Sucks at Code". And he said that the AI ascension is like when they created the tractor. A lot of people were worried when the tractor has created and they think that they will lose their jobs, but what happened is that when the tractors appeared, the farmers get their jobs a lot easier, yes, they needed to learn how to drive a tractor, but the tractor created a lot of works too, so, the AI, like the tractor, will force us to use it to upgrade or jobs, but they will create a lot of works too. And yes, an human developer will be better than an AI, because humans have something that AI's never will have, conscience, conscience is something that we have that let us make choices not only based in data, but in emotions, contexts and a lot of factors

[@Lucasmoon-yx7pw]

You've got a point, when i first heard about this Devin i was terrified, already thinking about my next job. But then somethings passed through my head like: "There are cars that drive by themselves, but there are still uber driver" or your exemple, now i'm less worried, actually i'm excited about it

[@rockdude1122]

the creation of tractors isn't remotely close to the creation of agi or asi since it is focused on one industry, whereas agi/asi (if achieved) will be the best at EVERYTHING. while devin is not going to take any jobs from swe. it is only the beginning of what is to come. if we reach the level of agi/asi, many jobs will not exist simply because computers are infinitely more efficient than humans. and then eventually complex physical jobs will also be overtaken. this is not to say that this will have a negative impact on society. i believe it will be quite the opposite. if agi/asi is achieved, humans will prosper like never seen before.

[@b-nr6oeb]

@@rockdude1122 creating or “programming” consciousness is something that will not be done for along time if even possible. Feeding data to a machine wont give it all the requirements for life. It would basically require synthesizing humans without procreation somehow.

[@rockdude1122]

@@b-nr6oeb you do not know that but even if that was the case machines don't need "consciousness" to be better than humans at most jobs. for example in swe if ai becomes good enough for someone to make full industry level apps in a few prompts then companies will only need one high level engineer to just prompt it to do so and another few to just maintain it assuming the ai can't do it itself.

[@Daegonama]

AI is not remotely similar to a tractor. Why on earth would it's impact on the software development industry mirror the tractors impact on farming. Context and factors are data and AI can understand context and take into consideration far more factors than a human. Making choices on emotions and not data is generally considered a bad thing. To assume AI can't achieve consciousness is also ignorant. Software development by human is expensive, messy and very dangerous even. The only similarity with "tractors" is that the introduction will in a short time reduce the size of the workforce to a fraction. But AI will go so much further than that and will also replace tractor drivers.

[@nic3point0]

I enjoy when you showcase buildings, streets and working from coffee shops in your videos. Nice

[@user-ws5yl4hn6k]

Marko, there are episodes 1 to 9, there is only 10 and all the videos made in the company, which was one of my favorites

[@debaratidatta4154]

Your videos always motivate me to kick-start my work. Thanks Man! Keep at it! I am glad that a year ago I found your channel.

[@Kamuso]

Hey Marco, I've been watching you since you started blogging (5k subs) and I love your content! You motivate made me learn another language (English). Right now, there are some really bad things going on in my country. And because of that, I'm feeling really down. But thanks to your blog, I can look at life in different countries. Thanks to you, my friend, I really want to go to Europe! Have a nice day or night and thx :)

[@rafaelfernandez5683]

Broooo, Flutter is awesome, looking forward to your reaction video regarding the Flutter development in the future 😉. Loved your videos bro, it helped me relax and encourages me to continue my career tbh 😉

[@suryavijayy]

@withmarko In wallpaper panel, I suggest if you use Rect Shape for APPLY button. It will be perfect. 😃

[@hoangtran-ek8mn]

Hey. You make me fall in love with gleam. It's awesome!

[@MsPajeh]

Excelente conteúdo!

[@kunthshah6140]

Hey Marko! I had a question. When you record your MacBook and other screens, I don't see you getting any reflections from the camera gear, do you use some form of screen-guard, cause I haven't been liking the enormous amount of reflections that my MacBook screen makes.

[@tk4c4]

Nice videos. I've noticed you worked with a couple of MacBooks like 14 inches and 16 inches. I'm wondering which one you consider like the best option for you?

[@otavioalexandre7575]

amazing video bro

[@aurponsharma7206]

hey marko ,your vedios are awesome.I literally watched every one of them I guess.Lately I was searching for a good yt vedio where from I can learn finger placement on my keyboard.Currently Im a student from computer science. I hope you suggest any vedios/anything in your next vedio.

[@jeanpaul2281]

What monitors do you have? And which size are they? Do you have the link? Which keyboard do you have?

[@WhiteRickRoss]

I like the way you quit vim from the first time. Good job !

[@arditamaz]

Hei Marko, I've been watching your videos from a while now and I enjoyed all of them. I was curious if you'd ever be interested in doing a video about how you spend a typical weekend day. 🙂

[@itsgabe04]

The topic about Devin AI is really interesting. But yesterday I was practicing some code and I had a project full developed, it was ready and was working in the terminal, so i decided to create a GUI for that code, but since I'm not that good in programming I decided to do it only using the chatGPT, and funny enough it wasn't able to create a GUI for my project lol I think AI will help the work of many devs but I don't think it will replace them. I think like that if you are a dev and you take let's say three days to build something, now you can reduce that time at least in half using AI, but it won't build that project by itself, I think AI will only improve our productivity

[@abdelhake2673]

hey marco I really wanna know your macbook model would you mind sharing it?

[@maplewang3123]

What is the name of the keyboard cleaning app?

[@aknahin]

"My view is that a developer will always be able to get 100x more out of AI than non-tech person." 100% agree with you. A bunch of words means nothing to AI, if you cannot give it proper instructions.

[@vladyslavmelnychenko7505]

becoming 100x more productive means you need 100x less developers lol you can't stop progress and its ok but pls stop saying nonsense like "well I will become super productive" sure you will. just like everyone else. so 9/10 will have to change profession as no one needs that many developers

[@codingjournal9891]

Hello marko i appreciate your work you are an inspiration for me and many more tech enthusiasts love you from Pakistan🇵🇰 btw i want to ask are you also a mobile app developer or you just work in web

[@omkarpatole6647]

Hola Marko!, con que lenguaje de programación trabajas?.

[@vladimir_dev]

By the way, I recently heard there's been some news that a lot of what was shown about Devin was fake and that the demo was largely a scam

[@vedantabanerjee9556]

cannot open marko's website, it never loads. idk if its a issue in my particular country (IN) or someplace other too.

[@Athods]

What monitors are you using?

[@user-fq2qr1ti2w]

Hey! I am a college student and currently learning React.js, Java, but I have to go through C just because of my college, and they are going to teach DSA through C/C++. Should I go for what college is up to or should I continue with my Java journey or both? Currently, I am feeling trouble in React due to new terms for me taking time to understand, and also have to manage academics. If you can suggest anything for me, I will be so grateful. By the way, love your videos :)

[@gamerswarehousez]

I have been following your channel for a long time, your videos are very interesting, I am planning to switch from Engineering to Software Developer, just I have an offtopic question for you, what is your height? I need that information to finally decide between Macbook Pro 14 or Macbook Air 13, because I am also using an external monitor I am 184 cm so it is difficult for me to look down at monitor it hurts my neck mostly since I am tall, so what is your height?)

Hey Marko, Nvidia told us not to learn coding anymore. I'm in the second year of software engineering. Do you think I should quit school? Is this profession ending? What should we do against artificial intelligence? Also, Elon Musk wants to implant chips in people. Will those who have a chip installed upgrade themselves?
