プロアクティブな自動化がセットアップされたときのプログラミングがどれほど違うか、人々は気づいてないと思う。 Cognition 内のすべての重要な Slack チャネルで、Devin のオートメーションがすべての投稿を監視してる。トリアージ、解決、ルーティング、レビュー。Devin はコードベースのどの部分を誰が担当してるかを知ってて、フィードバック/承認のために誰をループに入れるべきか、いつ意見を言うべきか黙ってるべきかをわかってる。 エンジニアリングの進捗の基盤となるハムは今ほぼ完全に自動化された。エンジニアは将来のプロダクト方向性の大きな賭けをナビゲートする一方、Devin は現状を保守・ポーランドしてる。

I don't think people realize how different programming feels when proactive automations are set up. On every important Slack channel inside Cognition, we have a Devin automation monitoring all posts - triaging, solving, routing, reviewing. Devin knows who works on which parts of the codebase, who to loop in for feedback / approval, and when to chime in vs. stay silent. The baseline hum of engineering progress is almost entirely autonomous now. Engineers steer the big bets for future product directions while Devins maintain and polish the status quo.

I'm genuinely mind blown by how good @DevinAI automations are it's the first product to nail the UX and execution of this kind of thing for me (having tried claude/codex equivalents)

Before Cognition / After Devin

コーディングエージェントに手動でプロンプトを入力して仕事させるのは、間もなく UX のバグのように感じられるようになるでしょう。 未来はオートメーションを設定して、ログインする頃にはエージェントが既に仕事を完了しているという状態です。過去数ヶ月間、この機能をたくさん実装してきました。本日、Auto-Triage を公開できて興奮しています!

Having to manually prompt your coding agent to do work will soon feel like a UX bug. The future is setting up automations so that your agent already does the work by the time you log on. We've shipped a ton of functionality around this over the past few months. Excited to release Auto-Triage publicly today!

Introducing Devin Auto-Triage: Your AI first-responder with long-term memory. Devin can monitor incoming bugs, alerts, and incidents, investigate them, and come back with context, next steps, or a PR.

Really enjoyed this conversation with @JTLonsdale on what’s happening in agentic software engineering and what it means for the rest of the world.

My brain dump of predictions about the future, the impact of software agents on government, what AI companies can learn from the self-driving race, whether the SaaSpocalypse is real, and the history of punch cards, with @jordanschneider.

new show with @cognition's @russelljkaplan on what software abundance could mean for state capacity. https://t.co/4r9Jhw6Jo6 we get into: Why government software is so broken — Despite spending over $100B annually on IT, critical systems at agencies like the Social Security Administration and U.S. Department of the Treasury still run on decades-old code that few engineers know how to modify. How two-year software projects become three-week ones — why AI agents are particularly good at the painful migration and modernization work engineers tend to avoid. What “software abundance” actually means — AI agents can handle the tedious work of switching systems 24/7, collapsing the switching costs, and forcing software vendors to compete on value rather than locking customers into outdated systems. AI for cybersecurity — From triaging massive vulnerability backlogs to automatically fixing CVEs, AI will be essential for defending critical infrastructure as attackers gain the same tools. The coming “post-coding” world — As models converge in capability, the key bottleneck shifts from writing code to understanding problems, reviewing systems, and deciding what should be built in the first place.

Most AI code review tools are bots that comment on your PRs. The results sometimes feel like “fighting slop with slop”. We’re trying a different approach with Devin Review: 100% human-in-the-loop, with lots of AI leverage. The goal is true understanding, not vibe merging. The interface at https://t.co/rGJCPzF3t7 feels a bit like context engineering for humans. Glad to see the positive feedback so far!

wow, have been using @cognition's new PR review tool. think whatever you want of devin. but this is incredible. also makes it *really* obvious how vulnerable GitHub is.

High state capacity in software engineering matters! This is great to see - kudos @skupor and team. Consider applying. For those who join and later look to move to the private sector, @cognition will have an accelerated interview track specifically for Tech Force alumni.
