My friends in software often ask me which of their skills still matter when AI can do so much. If you want to find out and see what working at Cognition is really like, check out my chat with Daniel Porras Reyes!
Not pictured: a room full of engineers trying (and failing) to act normal around 3Blue1Brown. If you’ve ever wondered what building an AI software engineer really looks like, this is the closest look yet! Thanks to Grant for the great chat.
Somehow the biggest concentration of AI talent in NYC this week was at the Domino Sugar Factory 🤯 Had a blast showing the crowd what Devin AI can do! Thanks to Pensar and Tech:NYC for hosting
Excited to announce I’ve joined Cognition! My first 3 weeks have been some of the most fun I’ve had in tech. Couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. Will miss the v0 team. So grateful for and proud of what we’ve built since launch over the past two years.
