It’s so over for us now. Cognition labs launches Devin, the first AI software engineer

Meet Devin from Cognition Labs. Read more here: https://www.cognition-labs.com/blog To the cynics, while this is a demo and there might be a lot more work to be done to get this product to "employee-grade", the fact that this has even started happening now... is crazy! At this rate of progress, I wouldn't bet against a fundamental disruption to SWE as we today know it, within the next 5 years. That's food for thought for those in the profession: either you are in the top 20% or you are replaceable by AI agents like Devin.

It's basically an AI software engineer that can solve GitHub issues end-to-end. My prediction about AI agents being capable of doing most white-collar jobs by 2025 is on track.

It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now. They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price. This will be the great commoditization of Software development Take it or leave it.

To all the devs (working professionals and students), how much do you rely on ChatGPT for your code? Do you explicitly use it to generate code logic, or only use it for debugging? Plus, do you think that the newer generation of students might miss out on the essence of programming with the advent of ChatGPT?
