Been using Devin for a few months now, for Typescript and Python.

I've never seen it check-in uncompilable code, but watching the Devin console I can see it building and using the code to ensure commits are not complete garbage. When it has checked-in compilable and almost right but slightly wrong code, automatically running lint and tests (it doesn't always run them before checking in) from ci triggers it to push a fix on its own.

Feedback loops are nice, but they can be expensive, and time consuming (oh look at me complain that it takes Devin a whopping 15 minutes to complete a task) so I can definitely see the value in type constraints.

is Devin worth the money? Would it be a big jump in productivity migrating from cursor to Devin?
it has been worth it for me, ymmv of course.

also they have a pay-as-you-go tier now as well.

I pay the full $500 though. This month I'm going to blow past the base allowance and tap into 'gift credits'

speaking of which if anyone wants a referral code (gift creds for me, and for you) hmu

how to hit you up tho
