Devin's Upwork Side Hustle Exposed
Internet of Bugs investigated a video where Devin, an AI software developer, was showcased as completing freelance jobs on Upwork. It was revealed that the claims were false, and Devin's capabilities were exaggerated in the video. This led to misconceptions about AI's potential to replace programmers. The exposure of these false claims highlighted the importance of skepticism and critical thinking when evaluating technological advancements.
Redis Re-implemented with SQLite
Redka is an attempt to re-implement Redis with SQLite, focusing on compatibility with the Redis API.
