Cognition founder Scott Wu details the technical and operational challenges of building the Devin AI software engineer

Scott is such a unique founder, leader, competitor, human.

Great listen.

Scott has an extraordinary drive to win, but what stands out even more is how much he cares about the people around him.

It’s rare to find a founder who can build a generational company while staying deeply invested in their employees and friends.

A must watch.

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Scott is sui generis

So cool to witness a conversation between two all-time greats in their fields

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition been so excited for this one!!!

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Enjoyed this one. Know a lot of Scott’s gtm team personally and I continue to be impressed not only by the quality of the product but the caliber of the people.

They can absolutely go for it all and win 🙌🏼

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition I feel like this interview special for a number of reasons, right? But the main one is not because you've got two relentless people talking to each other, but the fact that this feels like a continuation of the Colossus profile of Scott.

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition did devin finally pass swe-bench or are we still pretending

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition A must listen/watch

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Is this the divergence of humans in the loop?

Exciting but also a bit dystopian

David Senra's best content is when HE'S being interviewed. You get an incredible cross section of all his favorite founders lessons. Some day I'll get lucky and find myself on a long flight next to him. When that happens I'll befriend him and get him to introduce me to Ovitz, my favorite founder he's covered. #captiveaudience

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Scott Wu’s obsession with winning separates real agent builders from those still prompting in the dark.

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition so much lore

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition curious, can Devin actually maintain code quality over months of autonomous work?

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Fascinating how Devin's autonomy challenges traditional code reviews. Curious about how you measure long‑term code quality?

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Looking forward to listening to this

@lulumeservey @davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition will go down as two of the greats of our generation :)

@davidsenra @patrick_oshag @ScottWu46 @cognition One thing I appreciate about @VanessaFarrell0 is how straightforward everything is. No unnecessary hype, just quality market insight and strategies that actually make sense. It’s been a valuable experience so far

@davidsenra @ScottWu46 @cognition Good conversation. I agree on ROI over token spend. That’s what serious buyers care about once you’re past the demo.
