Building a Rails app live with AI
summary
Live builds a working Rails 7 app from a blank Codespace to a deployed dev server in about 20 minutes using GitHub Copilot and Copilot Chat. The demo runs rails new, enables Tailwind, generates a Home controller, creates an Octocat model (name, URL), migrates, curls an octocat XML feed, parses image src into seeds, runs rails db:seed and console to confirm counts, renders a Tailwind grid with flowbite components — the app works with small manual fixes.
