# Devin one-week coding review

Devin was given a week of real coding tasks, from a simple Express API to pagination, and reviewed on speed and accuracy.

Result: Devin built a three-endpoint Express API in about 4 minutes, but chose the wrong pagination style on a real codebase and needed review and refactoring.

## How it was set up

Devin on the Teams plan, with its own browser, terminal and editor in a sandbox. Tasks were given in plain English.

## Worth knowing

Slow at 20-30 minutes for a 10-minute task, got stuck in debug loops twice, and costs $500/month.

## Prompt

```text
Add pagination to the [endpoint] endpoint. Support [page and limit] query params and return the total count in the response. Follow the pagination pattern already used in this codebase.
```

## Evidence note
