AI just officially took our jobs… I hate you Devin

Cognition Labs just unveiled a new AI coding tool called Devin that is designed to automate the job of software engineers. Let's take a first look at Devin and see if it is a truly powerful tool or just artificial intelligence hype.

Despite all his skills, Devin will remain unemployed because he does not have at least 5+ years experience as requested on job offers.

bro what the fuck my career ended before it even started

[danielgeorge]

we programmers were so smart we decided to fire ourselves. genius.

2022: pursue art as a degree
AI art: hello world
2024: pursue CS for the sole purpose of not getting replaced by AI.
Devin: hello world

2025: Become a monk in a Tibetan temple.

[awesomewow]

maybe programming was the friends we made along the way

As both an artist and a programmer this is devastating

2015: I want an AI to fix my code
2030: Pls give my job back, AI

[hehebehello]

lads it was honour to program with you all

[alessandroguglielmina]

I already have a new business model:
1) ask Devin to write his source code
2) rename it jessica
3) become millionaire

First AI came for the artists, i didn’t speak out because I was not an artist.
Then AI came for the musicians, i didn’t speak out because i was not a musician.
Then AI came for the writers, i didn’t speak out because I was not a writer.
Then AI came for me and the other programmers, and no one was left to speak for me.

bruh im about to go into college and all the jobs are gonna be gone before i even get a degree

Eventually AI programmers will release a new javascript framework every 5 nanoseconds making it almost impossible for humans to move away from react.

Me, a rookie artist, learning coding as a back up plan:

[ZippyChan]

I'm in the software engineering field. My managers are pretty on top of AI Development as well as our director. (I work in the FAANG). I was sitting with my manager at lunch yesterday talking about whether or not Devin will get good enough to replace an actual person, and he said: "Nah, there definitely needs to be a human element when you develop software, you're not going anywhere. But [DIRECTOR] is convinced we should replace everyone below management with Devin-likes. It makes sense, absolutely little to no cost for maybe-quality engineering. All you'd need is just one dude with an ass in the seat to go over and verify the code and you can knock out 95% Of software engineers."

I've been in my job for like, 5 years now. Guess it's time to pick up a trade instead of tech cause it's clear to me this shit is a dead end.

If we upload all of our shitty codes to github and such we might be able to slow down the ai advancement by a little bit
