SWE-2 is free to use for users like yourself for the next month, and almost all usage should be supported via our CLI (https://docs.devin.ai/cli)

:)

samyok··on Devin Review: AI to Stop Slop
Have been using Devin Review for a little bit, and I think it's the first of the many "code review" LLM-bots that have come out that doesn't actively feel like "slop". Seems like they must have some integrations with codemaps or deepwiki (the Cognition products I use most often) to power the insights.

My favorite feature has been organizing the files by "logical flow" rather than alphabetically, which feels like such a tiny change but it's such a huge QOL upgrade. A lot of the features seem inspired by Graphite, which is also really enjoyable.

samyok··on Claude Code On-the-Go
Hey! I work on Poke, and OP is apparently a user :)

Right now, there's a bouncer/waitlist to access Poke, but you can see how other people use Poke at poke.com/explore :)

Other users have linked the developer documentation, but if you're particularly interested in anything specific, feel free to email me!

samyok··on Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed
Did you try with the grounding tool? Turning it on solved this problem for me.
samyok··on Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed
Don’t let the “flash” name fool you, this is an amazing model.

I have been playing with it for the past few weeks, it’s genuinely my new favorite; it’s so fast and it has such a vast world knowledge that it’s more performant than Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT 5.2 extra high, for a fraction (basically order of magnitude less!!) of the inference time and price

All these changes look great. I'm especially glad that next/link always renders an <a> now, if I read it right it seems to solve the "create a dummy span around some imported component" issue.

I took a gap year after high school to work at an ed-tech start up as a full-time software engineer. Turned down a return-offer to attend UMN, so I'm looking for internships for next summer. Preferably, I'm looking for opportunities to work on interesting (read: challenging) problems with smart people, regardless of any tech stack or domain.
