Is Devin AI the End (or Future) of Coding?! 

To add backup on your analogy with cloud migration, I'm a ten-year senior Java enterprise developer working for the Defense Department. And I'm on the cloud migration team where we are JUST NOW comparing different CSPs before we even start migrating! Lord only knows how long the actual migration will take, but I'm guessing at least a few years. AND on your other analogy about COBOL, about 1/3 of our developers are COBOL programmers maintaining our central mainframe. :-D So yes, there will always be some old mess in legacy systems moving at glacial speed. Not everything is on the cutting edge. Now the old messes aren't a lot of fun to work on compared to the new sexy stuff, but they're certainly not eliminated. It's still a decent paycheck.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I believe software engineering has a strong future, even alongside AI. This tech may change our work, but it opens up new opportunities. Focus on building solid coding fundamentals and problem-solving skills - those will always be valuable! This video was for those who are unsure, love coding, and want to build a career in it. My goal was to offer hope and my honest take on AI's impact.

 If some people are ready to give up, that's their loss! It means less competition and more opportunities for those who adapt, learn and level up their skills. So keep coding, keep learning, and get ready to thrive in the exciting new era of tech 💪

Hi Mosh! I am a software engineer now with three years of experience, I don't know if I have mentioned it before or not, but your free video about Python on RU-vid was one of the game changers for me. Just learning the basics you taught, I managed to impress my thesis professor who was so skeptical about my coding ability, as a mechanical engineer bachelor holder who wishes to do a career switch! Thank you! Keep on doing the great job please, for us who are hungry for learning, and for a better world! And for others who read this comment, guys when it comes to connect different pieces of code, something like a docker-compose, AI starts to mostly return non-sense. Don't be afraid, keep learning, and be happy that you are in this great field. By the way happy Nowruz!

"What the fack, I've only been learning programming for a year, and now Devin shows up."

As a software engineering student, this video gave me a major relief. Thank you.

Glad I came across this video. I have been coding for 5 months and stopped for a bit after learning AI will take over. However this video has given me hope again and I have continued. Thank you. You are a true blessing....

Thank you so much for this video, Mosh! We’be been reading too many negative AI tweets lately, and this video is much needed at this time. Really stress-realief & motivating to give 100% from ourselfs to become as good as we can. You’re a truly inspiration Mosh! 💪🏻

Hi Mosh! I want to tell you thank you! I was from country where lots of restrictions to the internet. I have started learning coding 2016. I did quite good in competitive programming but I could not be real developer until, seeing your courses in 2019. At that time I could not pay your courses. But when I change my location I have paid your courses, and I always tell about your courses. Thank you, Mosh! You saved my passion and life!

Maybe I am not as experienced as Mosh, but I have 12+ years of experience in working as a software engineer and I have this feeling... The video has the all answers whether you should keep learning or give up. Go for it and become a great software engineers and if there will be time when AI is about to replace you, this means there will be robots replacing workers, cleaners, craftsmen and AI dominates the whole world. So it does not matter what you are doing at that time... Being a great software engineer is one of the hardest job out there, so you should focus on learning and advancing your skills and using AI for your improvement instead of being scared and doing nothing.

It's just an LLM fight and marketing. Devs are evergreen. Upgrading is the key. Loved your explanation!

Thanks man, I feel less anxiety now. This video is antidote to Fireship's review on Devin

Hi Mosh! I enjoy your videos and usually never comment, but the time you take to address real-world issues and concerns is inspiring. Please keep doing what you're doing, as you provide so much inspiration, learning advocacy, and insight into how the industry works. From one software engineer to another, the truth is appreciated.

Happy nowruz, Mosh!💥🔥❤️

mosh 3 mins into the video i felt much more at ease about leaving my old job for software engineering ty

Thank you mosh I keep learning , keep coding and keep fighting until I succeed 😊

Cool! You simply gave me a huge relief to my shoulders. Thank you!

Thank you, Mr. Mosh. I was actually planning to change my undergrad program but this motivated me. Really appreciate this. And I must say, your way of comparing with examples is unique.

this made me feel alot better, I was about to head into college soon, with planning to get a computer science degree to be a computer technician and be a software developer, your explanation makes solid sense, and it made all of that "oh my gosh i gotta find something else to study now." anxiety go away, thank you :)

The best explanation on this topic that I have run across! It's really good informative information. Thank you!

I follow always your courses, but i guess the prompt need a special developer to write them to AI. we don't lose work. We have a new way to work!

As a newbie software engineer of one year I appreciate your thought out, intentional remarks. Wonderful video made my day and eased my anxiety. Now I can go find something new to worry about!

I think it will radically change the industry, assisting developers instead of leaving them homeless.

Hi Mosh, thank you so much for this video.

Discipline learning from present can over take any AI in future 💪 ThankYou Mosh🧠

I'm grateful, Mosh Hamadani. After completing your basic course, I have found a really good job. One may argue that you will serve as my career's guiding principle.

Hey Mosh, Thank u so much, I've been struggling so hard lately. Could you please make a video for us aspiring self-taught junior developers, particularly on how we can excel and stand out from the competition considering the current job market?

very well said, for someone that didnt code daily to say that current AI can make anyone being programmer is wrong, you may create tutorial app, web, but if you didn't know about the system design and data type etc there is huge deep dark hole to learns everything. its same to when everyone have google, StackOverflow, and even gpt for years and still we have to solve our own problem.

This was super relieving to hear! Thank you so much Mosh!!

Thank you for this video, I've been crying

This has been the best look-through ive seen on the subject so far

FoxPro!! Wow, you're showing your age Mosh. (I remember it as well). I also remember when they invented Java, C#, HTML, JavaScript and we all said goodbye to C and Assembly.

Thanks brother Mosh for this amazing video, it has deeply touched my heart!

I appreciate this video and I hope this optimistic take remains in the long run.

There are so many core takeaways from this that I honestly feel better, and more empowered honestly. This is a great video, now I can get back to work seeking a full stack job (and broadening my horizons for the future) without feeling as hopeless.

Hey Mosh! Great explanation for emphasizing the need to smartly learn instead of this nonsensical panic!

Hi Mosh take love from my heart ... please make ts-node course

am learning full stack web development, this video gave me a major relief. Thank you mosh

Hi Mosh, you are great. I am enjoying your videos. I still think getting plumbing skills could be a good contingency. lol

It's like a programming paradigm change : from OOP to POP (Problem Oriented Programming). Works for me! Totally agree!

My first instructor is Mosh, I have always loved watching his videos ❤ Every entry-level developer who comes to me for advice, I share Mosh's videos with them

You have a gift for teaching. Truly remarkable!

"We're going to turn programming language into human language" has been the goal of every new language for what, 50 years?

Someone who doesn't have solid code knowledge could never create complex apps with Devin. You atleast need to know very specifically what you need to do in order to use it efficiently. So I just see it as an opportunity for developers to work faster : Focus less on the boilerplate and more on the problem solving aspect.

Cool, thank you. I totally agree with you. Stay hungry for knowledge and leverage AI are key.

As always, a great video with straightforward information without any waste of time.👌 After 14 years be in this market, I agree with you that there are lots of hypes every day about AI from individuals seeking views on social media or aiming to gain their share in the stock market.

Thank you so much, Mosh. Tbis video really calmed my mind down and put me at peace.

I use Edge as my browser and it has a built-in Chat-GPT4. I can ask it to program simple formulas and it's unbelievably fast. It's scary. I believe it can't totally replace a programmer because it can only handle chunks but with the way it is going right now, it might be able to handle and organize large collections of these program chunks in the future. The main job of making the program work still relies on the ability of the human to put the correct order of these chunks. For now.

I don't know whether you had a chance to read my comment among all the comments. But I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing a different viewpoint in this mess.Thank you so much❤

Absolutely right Mosh, as software developer, once you see new techologie you have to advance and learn as fast as you can in order to stay ahead that's the key!

@programmingwithmosh Of all the individuals on RU-vid, you are the one in a million who truly speaks from his own experiences, keep up the good work.

Hi! I wanted to say thank you... I watched your Python video courses, and it was very helpful. I have learnt so much from your videos, and just by learning the basics, there is a clear progress in my coding. Your teaching style is great! I have managed to impress my family, friends, and teachers by my coding skills! I have a small request... I want to learn Pygame now that I have learnt the basics of Python. I searched for beginner tutorials for Pygame on RU-vid, but most of them are complicated and have no proper explanation. If you post a tutorial on pygame, it would be really beneficial for me and others who want to learn pygame. I want to thank you again for the hard work you do for us, sitting for hours, and release most of your tutorials for free. Please keep on doing this great job. We really appreciate you!

Nice positive outlook. This also applies to software designers

Not convincing: sure the big data big critical systems are safe from "AI takeover," but someone coming out of a code boot camp or video tutorial series is not a candidate for these engineering posts: such a candidate definitely direct competes with experienced devs implementing (and improving by feedback loop) ai code tools. Excellent point, however, where Mosh reminds us that no decent position comes without continuous learning and improving and keeping an eye out for when and what to adopt. Keep going! Love your video serieses, Mosh. Thank you for your contributions to today and tomorrow!

Mosh, thanks, I needed this video. Love your c# courses on udemy!

Thanks for putting what ive been saying in an actual coherent way lol. I have a lot of software dev buddies who rag on me because I augment my duties with AI. I have become more productive, learned more where my gaps in knowledge exist and fix them, etc. Its a fantastic tool, but it in no way can replace a engineer yet. Instead of being afraid people need to leverage it.

I think this is one of the best videos out there explaining with you don't need to panicky about AI.

No words can describe how comforting this video really is. I was really upset and drained at hearing Devin Ai replacing software engineers since I'm still a senior student I was doubting whether I continue pursuing Computer Science or choose another course. This video really made me get up from my sofa and directly go to my laptop to learn and understand coding.

Programming with Mosh is one of the best thing i have ever received! I have to say it is better than my College Professors trainings. the clarity in explaining each line of code has been helpful. Bravo Keep doing ur own things

I generally dont comment on videos but this is the best video on Devin I've seen. Everybody is fear mongering us with this devin shit. But I find your reasons very logical and I highly resonate with them. I am so glad that I saw this video. Thank you Mosh.

Nicely put. Thanks.

Thank you very much Mosh, for this Educative Informations

Wow, this is exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver!

What a time to start learning... everyone is saying this job will be unnecessary

You Make our days better ❤

Right bro new things is feared in short but good in long run

Thanks for the video Mosh.

Mosh thanks for this! You're the best!

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. Dude, you are still in the Denial phase. Don't feel bad, it's normal. Hopefully you'll progress towards acceptance though.

I just graduated from Highschool and I’m going to undertake a Bsc in Software Engineering I feel so relieved know human cognition promised by AGI in our field and the unemployment issue is just an overstatement

I'm still very appreciative of your SQL course. It would be helpful if you added a data cleaning module I think.

Relax Mosh, you will still be needed. 🙂 You are completely correct, of course.

Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for doing this video I was having all kind of bad though.

Thanks Mosh, i see everyday a new video to discourage me to be a programmer so a video with positive thoughts are aprecciated

Thanks a Lot! I was getting depressed

Hey Mosh. Great video. Loved the reasons.. this hype is going around only on youtube and spread fear on junior devs a lot more.. i agree to everything you said. I would like to add another point. I live in india so ill take this as an example. So the point is long ago in the 90s and 2000s we had simple cars like maruti or hyundai which were simple switch on car use it and switch it off simple.. but slowly we started seeing automation in everything in automobile industry.. till 2023 we saw right from switching on the car till switch off everything was automatic.. manual was almost gone forever.. everyone was into automated door locks auto window lock auto switch off car through app and all of it.. heck even self driving cars ideas came up.. but when people saw enough of automation.. you as a driver need to get a hold of the car bro.. and now you can see they are bringing in physicsl human touch for many things in automobiles now.. clubbing in both automation and manual work side by side.. i think AI also will be going in the same directions.. now people are saying AI and automation.. of course its not going to go away but point is because we sometimes get wrong outputs usinh chstgpt people will be using it only as a side tool and definitely not as a main one.. i had used chatgpt during android dev and i was like if i had seen stackoverflow i wouldve finished my work by now.. Great video again thanks😊

It was a nice video, you removed some of my confusions, but still some of them remains, I am the beginner, I think the bigger threat is to beginners and intermediate not Advanced Coders.

Your one of my best coding teacher whatever you say is my command

im very thankful for this video❤

I learned alot from Mosh specially shortcuts and tricks this is very helpful. If you have a course on how to use AI for programming ill buy it

Thank for this motivational video Mosh.I appreciate it.I've always had a thing for coding and AI but I'm still kind of on the fence when it comes to choosing weather I should start learning AI immediately or start with learning front/backend development first.I've heard for instance that finding a job in the AI world is very difficult without a degree or any prior coding experience.Mosh I would like to know if you have some advice on this matter?Should I start with front or back end development first or should I jump strait into AI for example?Your advice will be appreciated.Thank you.

You telling the truth. hats off sir !!

Thank you so much for your supportive thoughts amidst this negative and noisy AI drama. 💥💥

Casio Scientific Calculator doesn't replace any student or profession used it but saved time to reduce errors in complex mathematical calculations.

We so much need your course about Java Spring! Will you make it?

The most straightforward and relaxing vedio on the whole internet regarding devin..

Thank you Mosh for this video!

this is very useful vids. Facts, all this AI as of now is more as a tool for us developer than replacing developers.

Devin AI is a powerful tool in coding, but it doesn't mark the end of human programming. It assists coders by automating tasks, but human creativity and problem-solving remain crucial for the future of coding. Thank you!

what a great a video thanks Mosh❤❤

really good content and arguments! thanks

“Calculators did not replace mathematicians, it just shifted their focus to other stuff”. Your video is very good and well explained. People get too worried about the hype, especially when CEOs are saying certain things to pump up their stock prices.

Thank you for some positivity :D

Thank you for helping the computer nerd!

Thanks mosh! I had a little curious question, as software engineer what programming language do you master than other languages?

Hi Mosh .. thanks for practical insights and advise on this 🙌🏻 But I have a question May be Devin 1.0 we can survive but companies' focus is definitely on Devin v3.0 or v10.0 and v1.0 is just a start. Any thoughts pls. ? 💭

Since 2017 u still the best

wow the fear of AI taking over is high well this information really helped me a lot am a beginner learning on my own but most times i don't use AI tools

The real point is that job won’t go anywhere but surely the numbers will decrease especially for the beginner or fresher it will be tough for them to survive

I couldn't believe it when I heard that this random AI that came out of nowhere is going to replace millions of software engineers around the world I kept watching random clickbait videos and freaking out but when I saw your video i was deeply reassured! Looks like I'm going to college! Thanks Mosh!
