This is hilariously over-optimistic on the timescales. Like on this timeline we'll have a Mars colony in 10 years, immortality drugs in 15 and Half Life 3 in 20.

IMO they haven't even predicted mid-2025.

Yeah, we are so not there yet.

That is literally the pitch line for Devin. I recently spoke to the CTO of a small healthtech startup and he was very pro-Devin for small fixes and PRs, and thought he was getting his money worth. Claude Code is a little clunkier but gives better results, and it wouldn't take much effort to hook it up to a Slack interface.

Yeah, I get that there are startups trying to do it. But I work with Cursor quite a bit… there is no way I would trust an LLM code agent to take high-level direction and issue a PR on anything but the most trivial bug fix.

Last year they couldn’t even do a simple fix (they could add a null coalescing operator or an early return which didn’t make sense, that’s about it). Now I’m getting hundreds of LOC of functionality with multiple kLOC of tests out of the agent mode. No way it gets in without a few iterations, but it’s sooo much better than last April.
