Devin (https://devin.ai/) is another model. (So no, it's not like you're submitting it as your work.)

You create a ticket. The AI takes the ticket. The AI may ask questions. The AI creates a pull request. You review it as if it was another coworker.

Most people have not gotten good results from Devin yet. Their business hypothesis seems to be that the models will get good quick and they will have built everything just as the models are good enough to support the model, and will be poised to be first mover.



That's interesting, but it still seems like if I started using that at a job today it would be basically "subcontracting" to Devin. I might write up tickets for it to do some code but eventually I have to get those put into the real code base, and why would management let me say I've just reviewed the code personally for that?

I suppose their pitch is too eventually go directly to the business and replace the full dev team with this and some technical architects reviewing it but that seems quite optimistic
