Just to clear up any misunderstanding: I never hired Devin to work on my Upwork project. As a matter of fact, Devin never applied to my job. My video is about giving more context of what the job post was about and showing why Devin's deliverable as shown in the video doesn't meet the project's requirements.

Breathe in breathe out Investors : take our money 💰

[@johnsmith-ro2tw]

devin is not meant to solve advanced problems, it's meant to make sensational announcements to grab VC money. That's all. VCs will jump onto any startup at an early stage, because if that startup turns into the next billion dollar company, that's how they maximize ROI. The way the whole VC investment scheme works means it will bring in scammers like devin.

[@daphenomenalz4100]

And that's why Copilot is just better lmao, cuz Devin takes a lot of time whereas you can use on Copilot while not having to wait this much

[@glenmurie]

The VC fund gets their skim off the top in management fees and 'consulting support' even if the startup fails. So long as they can convince investors with lots of money and little tech know how and lacking the common sense to perform due diligence they can keep pushing out bad ideas. Doesn't matter if everything the VC fund pushes tanks, if they can find enough suckers to invest 50 million over a five year term with 2% management fees they make out like bandits. What mystifies me is why anyone gives them money at all.

Devin is a straight up a huge security issue too to even be used by for actual work💀, and you definitely don't want to expose your secrets to a software engineer owned by another company that doesn't even look trustable honestly...

[@Rotbeam99]

... and some random guy on the internet is more trustworthy because?

[@sub-harmonik]

if you're hiring people for one-off work you shouldn't be telling them any of your secrets. If you have secrets in your CI/CD you put the secrets directly in it like github actions secrets.

[@seespacelabs6077]

10:38 is disappointing. The failure of Devin seems like it can be blamed on a go-between person not providing the original text "your deliverable will be detailed installations" to Devin. From the Internet of Bugs video, we saw other problems that indicate it's doing worse than what we'd expect from an average developer. But it's just regrettable that we never saw the performance of Devin on the intended task.

[@mitch_tmv]

My suspicion is that they tried the original prompt and didn't get good results, so they had to alter it in a way that at a glance might look equivalent Obviously if they could actually complete an upwork task for real, it would make for much better promotional material

Ironically it was the human who typed in the prompt wrong, not actually specifying the deliverable.

[@rohanshah8129]

At 8:56 you mentioned that at times you face difficulties to express your exact problem that you want freelancers to work on... here is a quick work around for it:- whatever are your initial thought about the job description, you just pass it to chat GPT (or any of your other fav ai tool) and ask it to write a proper JD for you... just write keywords, and still will give you much better result in less time. It works like a charm for me. :P

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Good idea! Yeah I always try to be super succinct in my job descriptions, but maybe it is not the best approach, I will start using chatgpt, thank you for your suggestion! 🙌

[@rohanshah8129]

@@ComputerVisionEngineer am sure you are just gonna love it how from few keywords and basic description it turns to a super accurate JD 💯❤️ you're most welcome. Thank you so much for all your hard work on making CV feel so easy. You are a gem! ✨

[@fWfwwaw]

Look, I know this comment was made in good faith and will probably actually help the guy with what he needs, but to just tell someone who got grifted by AI to go and use another AI is just absolute hysterical 🤣

[@seespacelabs6077]

@@ComputerVisionEngineer I'm sympathetic. I know that when you write quite detailed instructions on Upwork there are diminishing returns. People tend to lose track of requirements after about one paragraph, due to needing to apply to many jobs quickly. Ideally, you can find a short description that implies everything needed. I think that your original description was in that spirit, and knowing the Upwork community, it seemed like you could improve a little, but not a lot.

[@lofiDreamer2]

Just when i thought I couldn't love this guy more😭🤩

[@simonmassey8850]

Devin hopes to win a slice of the multi-billion dollar offshore developer shop market. It wants to compete with the big IT consultancies with thousands of developers contracted out to dozens of large Western enterprises. There is a difference between charging a subscription for LLM coding assistants with agents and licensing Devin as “a developer”. The first is a tool that may improve your developer productivity. You can get download free ones and test them. The second is … unproven to be an excellent long-term model. The “Internet of Bugs” channel has an exciting takedown on Devin. Yet any enterprise that buys Devin will naturally claim it was “amazing” to cover up if it was a big mistake.

[@sabipopi]

Does anyone have acces to use devin?

[@shamaldesilva9533]

This is your job post !!! OMG

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

haha, yeah crazy

[@mcdonaldslover52]

To be honest the phrasing of your job is not exactly clear so i get why devon misinterpreted, but thats exactly what real humans would know to clarify. For example the first thing i would be doing with you is having a conversation about what you actually want... "it says you want instructions on how to do it in an ec2 instance in aws, but what do you mean by "it"? do you mean how to make the inferences or do you actually just want to know how to set this up in an ec2 instance so you can make the inferences yourself? Or would you like to know how to set it up and how to make inferences? Would you like me to just setup the ec2 environment for you and give you access? or just instructions like which files to download, what commands to make etc."

[@ComputerVisionEngineer]

Yes, agreed, the job description may not be 100% clear without a conversation to clarify the requirements. Still, they didn't prompt Devin the same job description, and the 'performance report' deliverable is far from being something which could be considered 'detailed instructions on how to execute it...'.

[@irulannaba6970]

huh? any human beings would understand the instruction of "please make me a detailed explanation how to do inference model based on the repository, on ec2 instance of aws" idk how you would miss interpreted any of that. the guy that makes devin video also deliberately gives miss interpreted instruction, and even making devin create its own bug and fixing them. idk how you blame the job submitter in anyway.

[@irulannaba6970]

even then, devin does this at an absurd 6 hours long, how much token was that wasted? I'd argue that devin is terribly impractical and also costing way more resources than the work that it can do.

[@mcdonaldslover52]

@@irulannaba6970 you've literally misinterpreted what he said in telling me that no one could misinterpret it...

[@Iscream4j0y]

*Lifts up hood* Well there's your problem, you're trying to run python code and get python dependencies from 4 years ago. Python is one of the most unmaintainable code bases you can use in a project. Ask python, python2, python3, pip, pip2, pip3, pipx, venv, and docker. Python is incompatible with itself, dependencies only ever work for the window of time that they were installed

[@Iscream4j0y]

3:36-4:05 Literally every experience I've ever had with python, those 30 seconds there are likely several weekends of STRUGGLE and stress

[@littlepharaoh455]

@@Iscream4j0y You will not see any problem like that if you are using Docker. it's not that hard to get started by the way and it will solve your problem. But the thing I want to say is that I don't think that python is one of the most unmaintainable code bases. I think that it's mainted very well and even most of it's libraries is being maintained very well. Just projects like the one in the video might not be maintained because when they reach the final goal and just go on.

[@Iscream4j0y]

@@littlepharaoh455 I mentioned venv and docker lol

[@littlepharaoh455]

@Iscream4j0y OMG, sorry, 😂😂 I didn't notice that. But why do you have problems when you run everything in an isolated environment?? I didn't face this. or maybe because I just use Python with django ?

[@Iscream4j0y]

@@littlepharaoh455 I've started web development on Django, the thing is, and the reason I mentioned it, is that Python has such a troubled and branching history that it necessitates things like docker and venv. I'm citing Docker and venv solutions as a symptom of the problem with Python, they're bandages at best covering up for all the conflicting dependencies. You generally only use those types of strategies in other programming languages as part of solving a very niche problem. Python practically requires it because of how common and drastic it changes, and how older versions are all still being maintained rather than being refactored and updated. This video is the exact example I'm talking about, even if you get as many of the dependencies as you can right, it's still just you fighting against the thing to get it working. If Python were ACTUALLY being maintained well throughout it's development, you would have a consistent vision and direction, not it just branching off into "Oh well you need to install this whole other version of this same programming languages because it can't work with things". Python has pushed me to drop python and never touch it again. I've even used docker with it to try and get something done, and ultimately had to drop it again because it just could not get all the dependencies and libraries it needed to do the basic things I was trying to do. It's not even like Python is too complicated to learn, I program in Rust just fine, but trying to set up and use Python has been universally a nightmare. I even just recently dropped Lunarvim / Ubuntu and switched to Fedora and building my own neovim setup because of a an issue with python dependencies.
