“It cleared a backlog nobody was ever going to get to”
Used weekly for 6–12 months
Dependency bumps, flaky test fixes, small migrations — two years of accumulated chores. I fed Devin about sixty tightly written tickets over a month and merged most of what came back. It has never once solved a hard problem for me, and I no longer expect it to.
Pros
Parallel sessions are the real feature. PRs arrive in our normal review flow. Assigning from Linear feels natural.
Cons
Vague tickets waste ACUs and produce nothing. You must review everything properly.
Problems it solves
Cleared two years of deferred maintenance in about a month.
