An experienced software engineer's take on @Cognition-Labs's new "Devin" offering. It's not really a Software Engineer, for reason's I'll explain. It's a tool, but it's a really cool ai tool, and I look forward to using it and other LLM code generation and problems solving tools like it.

But I'm not worried about it replacing all software engineering jobs. And you shouldn't worry about the question of "can ai replace software engineers?" either.

NOTE: (Not that anyone will read this, but) When this video uses the term "AI." it (like most of the current discourse these days) means current and near future "Generative AI" a.k.a. Large Language Models. If you're thinking about the Agents from the Matrix or the Robots from Terminator, that's DIFFERENT. That's the OTHER AI, the Human-Intelligence General AI, Sometimes called "AGI." That DOES NOT EXIST. For the time being it's PURE FICTION. It may get here soon, although I (and a lot of people smarter than me) seriously doubt it, but we'll see.
