Summary: The launch of AI Devin, an autonomous software engineer, is said to take over all the software engineers.

AI devin is not an assistant but a full-fledged software engineer that can write codes with the help of command prompts. We know how AI (artificial intelligence) is taking over the tech industry. Over time, we may see substantial growth in AI, where everything will run on AI, not just in the technological sector.

After Chat GPT, Ai Devin will take over the world in no time. Where many businesses depended on skilled coders, the launch of Ai Devin might just be the end of their careers. Last week, the company Cognition released a video of AI Devin’s early-access master code. While generating codes for the prompts, fixing the bug, and even completing paid-for upwork for a ROI (return on investment), there were interjections that this might be the end of coding.

Devin AI can manage multiple languages and can easily switch between Python and Javascript. It can revolutionize coding in the coming years by managing the whole process, starting from the development of websites to deploying apps and detecting and fixing bugs. The Devin AI’s performance looks very optimistic, but it’s still in the building stage and is not yet ready for real-world programming tasks.

We can see that there’s excitement and heightened hype around the AI software engineer. But the impact it will have on the code is still unknown. As per our research, we cannot say that it can completely take over the software engineers because it may still need human assistance.

We cannot say what the future holds; we can only wait to see what more wonders AI has to bring forth.
