Devin: AI software engineer? + OpenDevin; SWE-bench

Introducing Devin, the first AI software engineer

With our advances in long-term reasoning and planning, Devin can plan and execute complex engineering tasks requiring thousands of decisions. Devin can recall relevant context at every step, learn over time, and fix mistakes.

SWE-bench
Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?

"Devin correctly resolves 13.86%* of the issues end-to-end, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art of 1.96%. Even when given the exact files to edit, the best previous models can only resolve 4.80% of issues."

OpenDevin/OpenDevin: 🐚 OpenDevin: Code Less, Make More @GitHub

OpenDevin, an open-source project aiming to replicate Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer who is capable of executing complex engineering tasks and collaborating actively with users on software development projects. This project aspires to replicate, enhance, and innovate upon Devin through the power of the open-source community.

Devin: AI Software Engineer that Codes Entire Projects from Single Prompt

AI startup Cognition develops an AI software engineering platform that can automate entire projects.
Devin has impressed big names in AI, like former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy.
Well-funded by Peter Thiel and tech leaders, Cognition plans to offer early access to Devin for engineering teams soon.

JavaScript speed: forEach, .map, .reduce vs for, for..of

Performance of JavaScript .forEach, .map and .reduce vs for and for..of

Both for and for..of are 3.5 times faster than reduce. However, the loops are much more verbose.

.forEach is almost the same as for or for..of, only 3 times slower.

Here we just calculate the sum of a and b for the whole array:

return array.reduce((p, x) => p + x.a + x.b, 0);

Both for and for..of are 3.5 times faster than reduce. However, the loops are much more verbose:

let result = 0;for (const { a, b } of array) {   result += a + b;}return result;
