15 MINUTES RAILS APPLICATION

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

A simple party-and-invite app gets scaffolded with Rails, OmniAuth Facebook login, migrations and a Heroku deploy but the 15-minute demo actually requires 16 manual actions and ends up taking about 75 minutes to be usable. Scaffolds hide brittle controller logic, tests break on mixed create/find workflows, mail and validation dependencies complicate specs, and legacy apps surface low Code Climate scores (examples down to 1.5). Advice: codify conventions, add presenters/decorators/service objects and teach newcomers to avoid the quick-and-dirty pitfalls. 15-minute scaffold OmniAuth Facebook login Heroku deploy
