Devin (AI software engineer) is here to snatch away your job ,Really ?

This blog talks a about devenai , the first AI software engineer which is in talks a lot these days. This is an attempt to clarify the confusion regarding devind ai.

Hello everyone ,Currently devin is in discussion everywhere. People are afraid that this is end of the human software engineering era.
Is it really the case ?

No,Devin (AI software engineer) is not definitely going to snatch away software engineer jobs.

On their documentation page itself they have mentioned that if the other state of art models were able to perform 5 assisted tasks out of 100 , 2 unassisteed tasks out of 100 , devin.ai software engineer will be able to perform 14 unassisted tasks out of 100.

It is primarily built on GPT architecture , in a simple words it is a super enhancement of Chat GPT for programmers.

Real software engineering / data science work is way beyond just writing the codes.

I believe there are 2 components of any project

1. Business execution (Understanding requirement , defining scope , interpreting output ,translating that into business KPI (profit, losses ,costs ,ROI))

2. Techincal execution

Perhaps technical execution will be taken care by AI upto a large extent but translating buisness requirement to machine and interpreting its output is not something which AI can do at this point of time.

Human intelligence cant be adopted by machine as our world requires customized attention to be given for any business problem. There is no standard problem , neither a definite solution. We require to be tangible while working on business requirements.

But ,need of basic programming execution will be surely eliminated as AI will replace human programmers there.

Also there will be few sectors which will be highly impacted because of this.

But if you really understand and are able to add value beyond technical execution to your business then believe me this wont be a threat for you !
