The program to replace programmers has received feedback from users, and the company is seeking a $2 billion evaluation. Do they know something we don't about Devin or is this more smoke from the marketing hype train? Was the feedback positive? (no. But you should still listen to the episode, I spent a lot of time on it....)

Media Hype Train: Literally search 'devin ai replace engineers' on Google; or DuckDuckGo if you're a gigachad. While most articles conclude that AI is a helpful tool and not a replacement, you have to scroll all the way to the conclusion to get your answer. Additionally, search 'devin ai will not replace engineers', you'll get a couple of reassuring headlines, but it's mostly the results from the first search.
If you've read this far, just know the YouTube link to the unofficial, uncut and unpublished response is actually a link to Rick Astley's hit song. I have yet to see anyone talk about their response to the user feedback.
