Given that Devin is hype-ware until it is widely available for testing (remember, its been months since announced and still no sign of a reasonable beta roll-out), it would be better to frame this in terms of the general class that Devin represents, ie. AI-powered "full self driving" coders as opposed to the recent (phenomenal) prompt-driven tools like ChatGPT.

So - do FSD coding assistants pose a threat to developers? Sure, just like any tool using GPT3+ class engines do, we are in revolutionary times.

But the revolution here is the engines now available thanks to OpenAI and successors, not the wrappers like Devin and others.

If you're not concerned already, if you're not pondering the future already you've missed the point by seeing it only in the likes of Devin.

Personally, I think there is both risk and opportunity - it really depends on what sort of mindset you have as to whether you need to feel threatened.
