Devin

“I can also generate a dev team and ask it to do stuff with me, and you don't need devin.”

“I've been using it to translate Andrei Karpathy's LLM-II.py to LLM-II.c, and it needs to write about a raw C code and test it debug, you know, memory issues and CUDA issues and all that.”

“The planner is like actually pretty simple, but ACI. That they book through on.”

“The diff between that and something like Devin is all in like, sort of like the agent scaffold or the agent code, right? So that's, what's really exciting about this stuff. It shows off what you can do just from prompting and just from adding tools.”

“Both Bolt and Cognition DevIn and a bunch of other sort of agent type startups, they all use Nullify to deploy because of this one feature.”

“I think that may be where most of the, like, if there's any mode here, it's gonna be around, like, the interfaces into humans and their businesses. And Devon, like, has a major, major lead on, on making that work really well.”

“And it's perverse in senses where they charge by hour. So they make more money, the slower they are.”

“If you like pay for Devin, for example, like we actually update it on literally every commit incrementally.”

“A lot of the API integrations that Devin has were built by Devin. You know, a lot of our own internal dashboards and metrics tracking within Devin were actually also built by Devin.”

“We actually looked at each other's roadmaps, like product roadmaps and the Devon team was actually looking to build an ID and our team was actually looking to build a remote agent.”

“What I would say at a high level is, look, I think spiritually, you know, we really want to maintain the philosophies of both of these products and we have no plans to change that.”

“There's so much more to being a software engineer than typing the code, right? A lot of the work that you're going to do is, you know, you're going to be looking into a bug, You're going to be looking at the different files of the code base. Maybe you're going…”

“What you see in general is that that doubling time is about every seven months, which already is pretty crazy, actually, but in code, it's actually even faster. It's every 70 days, which is two or three months, and so, you know, if you look at various software…”

“And I think that, you know, we're gonna see another 16 to 64 X over the next 12 months as well.”

“Devin uses a fine-tuned model for doing summarization within the context of coding.”

“The way we test for the usage of agent stuff is less about, can you prompt the agent to do the work, but more in terms of, hey, I've actually generated a bunch of PRs from Devin or Cloud Code or Gemini or like Codex or whatever. Can you go ahead and like revie…”

“Even internally, we're getting to, in our company, we're getting to a point of, it's not just like developers, but solution engineers, support people, being able to tag something like a dev in to say like, hey, there's a typo in this added message, go, go fix …”

“We love Devin here. Yeah, I mean, I know a lot here is inspired by Devon, like the knowledge-based thing, right, is inspired by Devon, right?”

“If like Cursor or Devon would have to build their own VS code, that'd cost a hundred million dollars, you know? Call me back in five years.”

“Now we use Devon here religiously, and I think one of the most underrated features of Devon is the actual ask feature.”

“Devin's not gone. Devin's everywhere.”

“You know, we put it out October, 22, 23, and then people didn't really touch it too much. And then, of course, like, Cognition came on the scene, and Devon was an amazing release, and I think after that, it kind of kicked off the arms.”

“We, so in Pylandsk AI, the guys are using Devon quite a lot. And actually we tried quite a few, nothing else worked, but Devon, well, not nothing else worked, but like having gone through a few different options, Devon seemed to be the best of the off the shel…”

“We've actually given Devon an MCP so they can just go arbitrarily message other Devons and create new Devons, et cetera. But I guess like it somehow creates like a really chaotic world in that sense. And so we, we've still found that most practical use on a da…”

“The blockdiff file storage format, which is a file system format that we built so that the VMs could be spun up and down very quickly. Basically, the intuition behind this is imagine you have like a terabyte of disk And your agent only like wrote like a hundre…”

“Now, one thing we offer when we go and Sell Devon to people is, you know, you don't have to worry about all the compute side of things. We'll make it work. We'll make it work in your cloud if you wanted to.”

“I think a lot of that, what you mentioned is why we actually from the start built Devon to what we called separate the brain from the machine.”

“So the funny thing here is that the behavior between local agents and cloud agents, I think that is actually a bit different in their ideal state. I think local agents, you want them to be a bit more fast and let the user make the call on things. Actually don'…”

“But I think the thing that gives me the most bullishness that multi-agents might actually be possible is actually what I said earlier about Devon will actually sometimes tell me I'm wrong. And push back. And I think that demonstrates a level of maturity and co…”

“It grew like seven X over like the last, I think it was like two months, three months, something like that. And then you see our engineering headcount growth, it's like gone up by like 10% or something.”

“Well, in some cases we found that actually no one frontier model can actually do this full end-to-end task itself. We've seen cases where we actually had had to orchestrate different frontier models together to kind of solve this problem together.”

“So it's almost funny to be talking about how like big of a leaps on it. 3.7 was, and we honestly, a lot of it was stripping out parts of Devon that were no longer needed with that jumping of intelligence.”

“When we just built it off of raw VMs from cloud providers like EC two, the boot up time Was so slow. I think and especially the, then like turning off the machines, saving them, and then to be able to bring them back up again when the, when you want Devon to w…”

“I find that, like, 95%, I think some crazy stuff like that of the memories that Devin has are all through these auto-generated things. Like, very few people actually just want to sit down and write big docs on, okay, here's how you're supposed to work with the…”
