My phone buzzes off at 4:32 AM.

I double tap the silence button. And Sleep for 5 more minutes.

Phone buzzes off again.

Ok.. I’m thinking do I really have to get up this time.

I roll over and check my phone. Vision still blurry, I begin to focus on the light on my screen and it’s a P1 (Top Priority) failure that keeps buzzing my phone

I get up.

Brunch my teeth.

Gargle the morning stinch.

And I get to work.

I look at the time, and it’s now 6:38.

My phone is continuing to buzz like someone with upmost persistence of trying to get your attention.

I check my phone.

Clear as day shining on my screen. More P1s are popping up.

My chest tightens. Vision becomes more strained. And I’m suddenly feeling more hot!

I’m thinking to myself I’m still working on this first one.

I stayed up until the work day at 9am. Trying my best to debug the errors.

I got nowhere.

I had to wait for a senior engineer to come online to help give me more insight into what was happening.

Turns out someone did a deployment completely wrong!

And it was just a domino affect of everything beginning to fail.

Things did get fixed with all hands on deck around 11am.

But man was I one tired, tensed junior engineer, who still had to stay awake to work on my duties.

Only keep reading if you’re ready to change your life.

Can Devin AI replace Software Engineers?

It can do really good at debugging and coding? So why not right?

Or

Can I work along side us?

Here’s my core features that stand out.

Hack #1: Devin can autonomously find and fix bugs in codebases. https://youtu.be/TiXAzn2_Xck

Hack #2: Devin can build and deploy apps end to end. https://youtu.be/G45NKnAWuXc

Hack #3: Devin can autonomously find and fix bugs in codebases.

The Verdict?

Not right now.

You’re probably like. Wait. What do you mean?

All of our human-centric notions of “The Art of Software Engineering” go out the window when humans are no longer writing and maintaining code.

Yes, we can probably generate something great with AI

But, generating something that scales, adapts exactly to our changes as a species, and is something of high quality, is not something we’re ready to check off right now.

I would look at this as a helper tool for technical individuals in organizations to ship things extremely faster and have time to be more human, which in turns helps us drive input into what we really need built in society.

We shouldn’t be scared. We should be curious.

I’m quite curious that if I had access to DevinAI in my organization back when I was a Junior Engineer, I’d feel a lot better.
