Episode notes
Devin Shows Early Planner Advantage
- Devin demonstrates early multi-step planning that outperforms prior agent demos on complex programming tasks.
- The jump from 15% success to broad competency could be rapid or take years depending on edge-case engineering.
AI Code Is Often Good Enough For Prototypes
- LLMs often produce near-complete code but fail on small hallucinations or bad style.
- Even imperfect AI-generated code accelerates building useful prototypes and automations.
Design AI Tools Around Engineer Workflows
- Use interfaces that mirror human engineer workflows: chat, terminal, browser, and editor.
- Treat AI as a directed co-agent and iterate with it like a human teammate.
