I've often felt that reading and reviewing bad code is more cognitively challenging than writing my own code. Add onto it the unreliability of not knowing when the code will be delivered (so now there's a chance I'll be blocked if Devin can't finish when I need it to), and I can't see how this would be useful. I'm sure there will come a point when the code that Devin writes is easy to review just like how ChatGPT is able to write quite meaningful English sentences but I worry that it will make things even worse because now you can have correct looking code that's riddled with bugs.
