 this guy uses an "AI software engineer" named "Devin" (honestly, accurate) to code a new feature in a piece of open source software. the "AI software engineer" has its own shell, browser, and dev environment. it makes choices about which development tools to use, and searches for answers online when it gets stuck.

my brain says "don't worry, this may still just be a puppet show to grift investors" but my heart says "you're fucked, quit now." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk3s5JlyHfU 
 there's more videos like this on their YouTube channel, and here's the product intro video they put on X. if this is real, i am genuinely and truly not sure why anyone would hire junior devs in the future. i actually just want to walk into the woods and never come back. https://twitter.com/cognition_labs/status/1767548763134964000
