24 Aug 2026, 8:04 PM	Lenny's Newsletter	8.0	I spent $20,000 on Devin in a month. Here’s what I learned \| Ryan Carson (solo founder) Solo founder Ryan Carson (Untangle, a B2B SaaS for family law firms) spent $20,000 on Devin in one month, running 15 concurrent agents managed with a handwritten paper list rather than a dashboard. He built a 'Watchdog playbook' to replace customer success across law firm accounts, a 'LAN PR skill' that auto-merges 40 daily PRs without QA review, and moved almost entirely off local agents to cloud-based Devin, reaching for Codex only in specific situations. His design workflow is Claude Design → Markdown spec → Codex to build. Why: If you're evaluating whether AI agents like Devin are worth paying for at scale, Carson's $20K/month burn and concrete operational patterns (paper-list task tracking, Watchdog for account monitoring, auto-merge PR loops) give you a real cost-and-workflow benchmark—not a demo. Founders should compare their own monthly spend and headcount needs against this before committing; developers should note that he still keeps Codex for certain tasks, meaning Devin alone doesn't cover everything. ai-agents devin solo-founder saas-ops workflow-automation
