I work with a team at Nubank that has been using Devin. I would say that it doesn't quite make sense to compare it to Claude 3.5, because Devin isn't really like Copilot; it's more like an assistant to which you can assign a project. We're using it only for particular use cases, but for those particular use cases it's like having a superpower.
- Yusefmosiah 2y agoThe reason it makes sense to compare them is there are problems that Claude 3.5 (or o1) can’t solve. Can Devin solve them? If yes, it’s easily worth the $500. If no, it’s a harder sell.
- joshgachnang 2y agoDo you have any examples of the kinds of projects you would assign it to?
- jonny_eh 2y ago> We're using it only for particular use cases Can you share concrete examples?
- projectileboy 2y agoI can’t really be too specific. But I can say that at least one pattern of problem it tackles very effectively is: “we’re migrating from X to Y, and it’s going to touch a ton of files, and the nature of that migration is much more involved than what we can reasonably hope to accomplish with sed and a bash script.”
- anticensor 2y agoI tasked Devin with writing a project proposal (in a topic I am not going to disclose here) with multiple documents including feasibility analysis, grant applications, legal analysis and post-implementation training materials and it was almost perfect at it.
- jonny_eh 2y agoAmazing claims, if only it could be publicly shared and scrutinized.
- amkkma 2y agoBased on this, what is the outlook for software dev generally, and junior and mid level devs?
