Get ready for a bunch of unskilled people making the shittiest apps imaginable.

And I wonder how easy it will be to get Claude to create malware with just a few prompts…

    As a developer I always enjoy asking these clowns why anybody should buy their products when AI will soon allow consumers to build these apps themselves, which is just a logical progression if you don’t need coders to create software.

    I know of course that this isn’t going to happen anytime soon. It’s wishful thinking from their part and it shows a complete lack of understanding both what LLMs can and cannot do and what it takes to design and implement anything bigger than a batch script.

      I feel like this could be (opinion) the reason why Devin is trying to charge $500/mo for their tool. They know they only have a limited time window until a general-purpose agent from OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/… can directly do everything their product does. So they have to make their money while that gap in capabilities still exists.

      I mean, project managers have been not caring about professional coders since way before the current LLM hype.
