Build and verify a simple endpoint app

Devin created a small Node.js Express service, tested its routes, and added error handling in about 4 minutes.

What they did
On the first day of a week-long review, a reviewer gave Devin a plain-English request for a user API with GET, POST, and DELETE routes backed by memory only. Devin used a setup that included a browser, terminal, and editor, then assembled the project, wrote the code, installed dependencies, ran curl checks, and added basic error handling.
How it went
Devin finished in around 4 minutes. The reviewer had expected about 5 minutes if done manually, but said the time difference was not large for such a simple assignment and that other tasks could take longer with this agent than doing them directly.
Tips
Use it for small coding jobs where you want a quick build-and-test loop. Still review the output yourself, and keep the reported $500/month Teams cost in mind if you are working alone.

Try it yourself with Devin

Start a new [language/framework] app named [project name] for a basic user endpoint service. Add [GET/POST/DELETE] routes, store the data in [in-memory storage or another simple option], install the required packages, and run test requests to confirm the endpoints work. Include checks for [bad input/missing data], then pause and ask for my approval before any step that would delete data, send data, or submit changes.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
