I don't know why, but my ultra wide monitor absolutely hates that site. The whole screen is flickering trying to deal with the annoying background. Thank the gods for reader mode.
"Remind me about this" creates a public task in the channel!?!? "Hey everyone! I'm choosing not to respond to this right now but don't want to forget!"
We're migrating off Slack because they jacked our prices by 40% this year. Our team used Google Chat for one week and revolted.
cloc says ours is ~350k LoC and agents are able to implement whole features from well designed requirement docs. But we've been investing in making our code more AI friendly, and things like Devin creating and using DeepWiki helps a lot too.
If you have agents that can implement entire features, why is it only 350k loc? Each engineer should be cranking out at least 1 feature a week. If each feature is 1500-2000 lines times 10 engineers that’s 20k lines a week.
If the answer is that the AI cranks out code faster than the team can digest and review it and faster than you can spec out the features, what’s the point? I can see completely shifting your workflow, letting skills atrophy, adopting new dependencies, and paying new vendors if it’s boosting your final output 5 or 10x.
It’s not a measure of productivity, but some number of new lines is generally necessary for new functionality. And in my experience AI tends to produce more lines of code than a decent human for similar functionality. So I’d be very shocked if an agent completing a feature didn’t crank out 1500 lines or more.
Damn. I just got an email that they'll be discontinuing the palm payment June 3. I've barely used Fresh and Go, but I use this at self checkout at Whole Foods all the time. Beats finding the code to scan and using Apple Pay.

Same, it's so good for these little things. And once you start adding rules and context for the "how to add the change/feature flags", etc you get that 3 paragraphs down. Now our head of product is able to fire off small changes instead of asking a dev, making them context switch, etc. Devs still review but the loop is so much shorter.
Overall I've been really impressed with Devin. IMO it's the best tool for AI generating features if you know what you're looking for, have patterns to follow, etc. I suspect the context they build about your project helps a ton.
I was literally just working on a system, using Devin to do the review no less, to add a bunch of the rules we have that are outside of linting's capability to tackle the same kind of thing. Tools like Copilot and Qodo have very high noise ratios, but do occasionally catch legit bugs. Devin Review could be a great complement, and hopefully they'll make it so we can add our own rules soon.
