Devin

“We are using cursor. We've tried all the different tools. We were using Devon as well, which is another, you know, that's more advanced, I guess, you know, it's kind of solving bugs for you.”

“These are the types of things that us as a startup can do that bigger companies can't just, you know, they can't just pull in Devon, right? They have to, you know, get 30 lawyers in the room first before that happens.”

“Devon merges like several hundred pull requests into production in the Devon code bases every month, you know, which is, I mean, our whole team is only like 15 engineers, and so it's a pretty sizable fraction of all the code that we write.”

“I think by the end of this year, we expect it to be more than half.”

“Walden made a virtual, you know, developer version of him, which was called Dev Walden, and then Steven made one of him, which is called Dev Steven, and, you know, we had all this, and then we were kind of combining it all into one thing, and we're like, okay,…”

“We have folks who like order their DoorDash with Devin, for example”

“Devon sets up its whole wiki with all of its internal understanding. And so when Devon indexes the code base, obviously building a representation of the code base and learning it and improving it over time is one of the big things that Devon does. And funnily …”

“We found that the, you know, the best workflow really as a team building off stuff was to work with multiple Devons and to run them asynchronously and to kick them off and to only jump in basically as you needed to provide feedback or steer the plan or anythin…”

“I think the biggest thing I would say is It really is just, you know, treat Devon like your new junior engineer.”

“So, so for what it's worth, Devon can start other Devins through the API, right? And so, so we, we've seen this happen quite a bit of times where naturally if you have some big tasks that you want to do, like, you know, Devon will do this all the time. It'll, …”

“We started in November of 20, 23, which was, yeah, just like hackathon mode. We officially made it into a company around the start of 20, 24. And then our initial launch was in March.”

“I think Devon is best when it is working on tasks that are well-defined. You know, it's one way to put it is you want to be giving Devon tasks, not problems, right? And a lot of these things, you know, like what you just saw, which was kind of like a quick fro…”

“Claire Vo from, for example, from LaunchDarkly is is a big Devon user and she loves basically going and scoping out tasks or asking data questions or asking, Hey, what's, you know, what's going on?”

“I think that my hot take here, which I would give is I think the, I think in terms of base intelligence, we're honestly basically already there. And I think a lot of what we see actually, and what we spend our time on is less so, obviously we don't pre-train o…”

“Most folks on the team are definitely, yeah, is, are often working with up to five Devons at once, I would say.”

“We had a hackathon in November. We had another hackathon in December. We started the company officially in January. We like got the prototypes out to initial users in February. We did a launch in March. We got our first customers in April.”

“It's in the neighborhood of a quarter or so of all of our, yeah”

“As you use Devin and as your whole team uses Devin, it's the same thing with an engineer, right? If you're joining on day one versus, you know, so you've been at the company for five years, you know, you wrote half the code yourself. You, you've touched every …”
