neither it nor our homegrown solution came within a mile of doing what Devin could do

Helped: Devin's capability exceeded alternatives.

Got in the way: OpenHands and homegrown solution were inferior.

I understand why you would have that impression, but for what it's worth, my team has been helping other teams internally to use Devin, and we also did due diligence and experimented with OpenHands, as well as try rolling our own solution. While OpenHands is cool for what it is, neither it nor our homegrown solution came within a mile of doing what Devin could do.
