Devin Ai is NOT the End of Coding

Cognition labs just released a new Ai tool called Devin that is designed to replace and automate a lot of the grunt work for software engineers. Many are calling Devin the end of the coding era, but when taking a closer look at the facts and current capabilities of Devin we find a completely different story.

my friend is a coder and tried it, he says its complete garbage

[@zoeherriot]

I'm a coder - your friend is correct.

[@TigerFitoff]

@@zoeherriotim also a coder. Where can i try it?

[@zoeherriot]

@@TigerFitoff you have to sign up - I think it's still in Beta.

[@TigerFitoff]

@@zoeherriot aight thanks

By the time AI takes over software, you'll have more issues than your job. Specifically, if AI is capable enough to write bulletproof code and no-one needs to review, understand, test, ship each line of code it wrote, there will be no way of knowing what is being run as a solution in the real world. multiply that by millions of solutions and do you see a pattern? no one knows what the software on a device/server/computer is doing. This rules out a ton of industries that simply legally can not afford any mistakes regarding security, industries that rely on very specific code (embedded, space industry, industrial controllers etc) So this "end of coding" is silly, even if it wrote 95% perfect code (which it still does not) someone has to review every thing it does otherwise like I mentioned, you have all the risk/legal accountability of bad software with 0 knowledge on what it does, which is the equivalent of relying on a black box that is out of your control and you simply hope gets it right. Oh yeah, and also, in the video the surgeon bot was mentioned. By the time coding gets replaced I'm damn sure 90% of high risk jobs will be replaced by simple ML. But again, you can't have ML in high risk without very very careful QA, remember i.e. Tesla autopilot.

Knowing how these networks work, Devin will at the most, help out programmers, not replace them. Large projects, when converted to text, will ammount to hundreds of milions, if not bilions of input tokens. Contexts to these LLM's is still in the hundreds of k of input tokens. No where NEAR enough for large projects that are a large majority of current SW engineering products. Not to mention, LLM's do not follow to the letter all input context. Depending on the implementation, you would need close to double of input tokens for the prompt you want it to follow. Of course, this will all change in the future, with the speed of development of tech increasing day to day, these things should be used to uelp us, we need to eventually free the man of "working". Make the machines work so man can flourish.

If devin is so great why their website looks like 7 year old wrote it?

[@Technobitz]

great video

[@carriocode]

Thanks!

[@Destide]

There's a lot of red flags that it's a VC dump the project has a lot of shortcuts when it comes to things like the website, if you had an AI that can replace a human dev why wouldn't it be the showcase?

[@danielo9902]

Nice video. Cant lie, I am a bit worried about losing my job to AI

[@zoeherriot]

I have had the "good fortune" of having worked in silicon valley. Just understand that these guys goals is not to make a really good piece of software - it's to sell their company for the highest possible amount of money, or to gain the most investment possible. This product is a smoke screen. It's working on simple use cases, it's highly selective tests, and gets things wrong a lot. And that's just the coding aspect.

What happens if you scream to AI that the server is down and need to be fixed before lunch
