Devin Is Actually Good?

Seems like Devin is actually way better than expected.

Been watching Twitter demos and startups using devin effectively to ship more code faster. It's like Cursor x Greptile. Devin reviews your code and makes changes that it sees fit, and can help your dev team do tedious work faster.

I can see lots of startups using devin now in tandem with existing AI code gen tools to be more of a dev assistant rather than replacing the engineer entirely.

We're still a ways away from AGI, but devin actually is turning out to be a step in the right direction in terms of code gen.

My only gripe is the hefty $500 a month starting fee to use it. I hope they drop a free version/ or at least a free trial for more people to have access in the future.

What are your thoughts?

also would like to hear thoughts from people that have actually been using it

Not having a free trial is odd, but $500 is worth it if it works. It only needs to save 10 dev-hours/month to be worth it.

Greptile is free to try FWIW.

subtle greptile plug from the CEO

but yeah does end up having a monthly ACU (agent compute unit) that it can use, but we'll see over time if it ends up being a worth it investment for smaller dev teams
