I don’t think people realize how different programming feels when proactive automations are set up.
On every important Slack channel inside Cognition, we have a Devin automation monitoring all posts - triaging, solving, routing, reviewing. Devin knows who works on which parts of the codebase, who to loop in for feedback / approval, and when to chime in vs. stay silent.
The baseline hum of engineering progress is almost entirely autonomous now. Engineers steer the big bets for future product directions while Devins maintain and polish the status quo.
Raunak (@raunakdoesdev): I’m genuinely mind blown by how good @DevinAI automations are
it’s the first product to nail the UX and execution of this kind of thing for me (having tried claude/codex equivalents)
