In this day-in-the-life style video, I talk about a question I keep seeing all over social media: will artificial intelligence replace programmers? We’ve had tools like ChatGPT for almost two years now, and it still hasn’t replaced developers. But a new player showed up that’s making people nervous—Devin, the “first AI software engineer” from Cognition. So I break down what Devin can actually do and whether it changes the game for software engineers. I go through Devin’s core capabilities: it can create a development plan, write code using developer tools, download files and read documentation (like API docs), and even fix errors. That’s impressive, especially because it’s not only for developers—end-users can describe what they want in plain language. But my opinion is still the same: AI won’t fully replace programmers. Programming is creative, someone has to be responsible for the project, and companies have confidentiality concerns that make it unlikely they’ll hand full access to an AI. For me, the realistic takeaway is that tools like ChatGPT and Devin can be strong assistants for building projects and learning to code—and I’ll keep watching how Devin evolves.
