Done withDevin
- What they did
- The source is a promotional post and gives few mechanics. Devin takes bugs, features, or refactors assigned through Slack, Linear, Jira, or its website. It writes the code and sends a pull request for a person to review. At ChatPRD, Claire Vo says it reviews code, updates documentation, or writes all of the code on every PR.
- How it went
- Claire Vo calls Devin the #2 contributor to ChatPRD, behind only her. Sahil Lavingia says it is Gumroad's top code contributor, with over 1,500 merged PRs, about 10 a day. Both are founder claims with no independent measurement.
- Worth knowing
- The free year is for new Devin customers who are Insider subscribers. It includes 50 ACUs a month, which the post equates to about a week of full-time engineer work.
