    I have, but in my experience any personal gains are lost if I account for the extra time needed to review other devs’ PRs. The volume of sloc submitted has gone way up, but everything runs and looks fine, so the bugs that do sneak in are really nasty little things.

    The experience of using it to fill out, like a wall of config changes, or a bunch of repetitive test cases is good though.
