From on MGM+ is absolutely fantastic. I love the mystery, the horror, and everything else about it. I am excited to see where it goes. I also absolutely love Foundation on Apple TV+, amazing CGI and fantastic world (or universe) building.

Devs

does it have mr robot levels of reality when it comes to the story?

Where Mr robot is an unreliable narrator that questions himself, devs has a paranoia that someone else is controlling the narrative to purposefully make you question,

That makes it sound more enticing.

I was asking about the technology. The wiki article said it was a story of a software engineer's experiences and I was asking if the technology portrayed in the show was realistic like it was in Mr robot; it's my field and I'll get turned off to the show if it's laughably unrealistic.

There's no safe way to answer this without giving away plot points, I don't think. Most important thing is that it's sci-fi, not a drama about developers in the way you might expect.

As egrets mentioned, it is more sci-fi tech rather than realistic tech. I don't think it is extremely unrealistic as a proposed idea, but it is something that could never work at the scale shown in the show. In a weird way, the end of the show felt to me like it got both more realistic and more unrealistic. I'm trying not to spoil anything, but I hope that can give a bit more info to decide if you would like it.
