My perspective (as a CTO who's hired hundreds of developers in the past 12 years) is that I don't have a use case for Devin, from what I've seen about it.

That comes down to why I hire developers in the first place: To share my responsibilities with people I can trust.

I don't hire them to write code or to close tickets. The act of programming, I consider an exercise that helps them understand the problems we solve and the logic of our solutions. I'm always excited when I have a well specified ticket I can hand to a new hire to learn the ropes. So the kind of thing I can imagine Devin can pull off at some point, that'd actually be detrimental to the kinds of teams I build.

I don't think I represent the majority of why people hire developers though, so I guess tools like that may well have a big impact on the industry. Nobody can predict that though.

Uncertainty sucks, but it's how things are. I find the best way to deal with uncertainty is to become better at adapting to unforeseen circumstances. Programmers have quite a bit of experience with that, for what it's worth.
