It looks like the company (Cognition) is actively hiring (20+ job openings last I checked). That doesn't sound like a "flop" to me...

Think about: why would they be hiring actual human beings if Devin actually works? Seems like the purest example of "dogfooding"...

		This generally just keeps being the "the Emperor has no clothes" moment for all these AI bull companies. Microsoft just replaced their native Windows Copilot application with an Electron one. Highly ironic. Obviously the native version should run much faster and will use less memory. If Copilot (via either GPT or Claude) is so godlike at either agentic or guided coding, why didn't they just improve or rewrite the native Copilot application to be blazing fast, with all known bugs fixed?

When you think about it, every job opening is a flop in that sense.
