> At least in my experience (using the Windsurf IDE with Claude 3.5 Sonnet) LLMs do a very good job in a Rails codebase for stuff like "I want to create a new page for listing Widgets, and a Create page for those Widgets. And then add pagination.". I've been able to spin up whole new entities with a model/view/controller and database migration and tests, styled with tailwind.

Does it suggest using rails generators for this - and/or does it give you idiomatic code?



The last time I tried this it created idiomatic code from scratch. I prompted it in phases though, and I suspect if I had asked it for more at once it might've used a generator.
