I can see this being popular with some devs but does everybody even want to code with voice? If you type actually fast there's not a significant speed gain from it and I would personally not enjoy talking constantly all day.

Problem is the predatory techniques are always more lucrative and we've chosen not to regulate this stuff. If it was legal to open a casino on every street corner, there would be a lot of those. Mobile games are the unavoidable consequence of anything goes monetization.

Some sci-fi thought we would use sufficiently advanced magic to do grand things. The others that thought we would use it purely for increasingly disturbing ads were correct.

That's wild. Honestly, it wouldn't have occurred to me to even tell my employer that I'm taking a short trip if I keep my normal work hours and meetings.

Haven't tried Devin but have tried some of the others like Replit, Vercel, Bolt, etc and found them not useful. They are good at tricking you into thinking you're making progress but you're not because the output is not suitable for checking into any serious project without tons of extra work.

The display has a lot of blur too, pixel response is poor even compared to an LCD gaming monitor. Fortunately I mostly play on a TV at home.
