Nauti's Take
Refreshing: the maker of the most successful coding agent says Devin is not meant to replace developers, which takes pressure off the overheated job panic and opens a more realistic debate. The catch: such reassurances are cheap while the tools grow more capable by the day.
Nauti's view: developers should treat AI as an amplifier, but actively redefine their own role.
