These all seems good right? well surprise, this startup did a little Oopsie.
This feels like a scam
like wtf? Look at their website....can't they use Devin to make a better one??? lol
Also if you go to the "preview" url it looks NOTHING like the video
(you could upload unlimited files before without logging in, they did a hotfix, se further down)
EDIT:
Are they running https://preview.devin.ai/ in dev mode? Not a react dev myself but i can see all their react components in the chrome debugger...
EDIT
Why are they using https://clerk.com/user-authentication to handle logins? If Devin is as amazing as they say im pretty sure building a simple login functionality should be trivial for it....
Heck it should even salt and hash the passwords right?
EDIT
Ok maybe im reaching for straws here but if you inspect the DOM in the react debugger they have a prop called "afterSignInUrl", take one guess what the value of that prop is?
""
EDIT
Ok i need to stop but it's just fascinating
They actually dont do ANYTHING themselfs
Analytics: Hotjar
Website: NextJS
Login: Clerk
Jobs: Ashby
Waitlist: Google docs (ROFL)
Learn more about their funding: A link to twitter
Their so called "Blog" isnt even an actual blog, it's literally a static page with hardcoded dates and entries....
Who are these people?
EDIT
Aaaaaand i went to Linkedin and checked...
Yeaaaa i'm getting heavy vibes of:
"We were laid off and now we try to scam some investors for money while we think of a better plan"
FINAL UPDATE (im tired)
So they "fixed" the upload now. If you try to upload a file, it says {"detail":"Not logged in"}
Ok, so no id on the error, no timestamp, no metadata whatsoever. How are users supposed to send in an error report on this? How are you logging this?
And also...if you know if you aren't logged in WHY DON'T YOU JUST DISABLE THE UPLOAD BUTTON. You cant upload file, image or key without being logged in. This is driving me insane.
Some people have said in the comments that this is supposed to be the best 0.00001% developers in the world. And maybe i'm too stupid but this makes no sense me.
Another thing that's interesting is that there is no error on the GUI side. The spinner just keeps spinning meaning they don't have any form of error handling...nothing not even a small toast or notification or anything. No generic or specific error
Isnt this supposed to be in beta? Isn't there people using this? So if a user uploads a file, key whatever and something goes wrong....just...nothing?
I'm sorry but this just smells...bad

The best part of their implosion is that they did it to themselves. No one wants to invest in a junior that will take 3-6 months to be productive only to have them leave in 1-2 years.

If anyone ever tells me they applied to more than 100 jobs it just means that they didn't write a tailored cover letter and used one click auto replies and I can immediately throw everything they say into the tradh

Don't forget that every time they say this they mean they "sent" the application
*one click applied to a dozen open positions and didn't even write a unique cover letter

That's why I find this hilarious, like obviously the startup is rushing a product to market so they can show something off. Only the inexperienced look at hand crafting every tool used and think that's a sign of a good product.
It could be a scam but it's impossible to tell without being able to try it out.

It's a sales demo, who knows where the product will end up. That's what investors gamble on.

Once you've made enough sites you don't use google forms because it's not any easier than making something good. It's a strong grifter signal

Keep in mind, these are AI folks, they have probably never made anything and languages other than python are scary to them.

My favorite thing about nixos is the way they keep rewriting the "idiomatic" way to install things and also quietly remove software from their central repo

GNU Guix doesn't even have non-free software in their official repo lol.
The OS spin even ships with “Linux-libre” with no blobs.
