Technical Interview Exercise

Welcome! This is a Rails application scaffolded as a starting point for a live coding exercise.

Prerequisites

• Ruby 3.3+
• SQLite3

Getting Started

bin/setup

That's it. The setup script will check your prerequisites, install gems, prepare the database, and confirm everything is ready.

Running the App

bin/dev

Then visit http://localhost:3000.

Running Tests

bin/rails test

What's Already Here

• A Person model with first_name, last_name, and email attributes
• Presence validations on all three fields and a uniqueness validation on email
• A simple welcome page at the root route

Ground Rules

• Use whatever editor and AI tools you want.
• Think out loud — we're interested in how you approach problems, not just the solution.
• Ask questions! This is a conversation, not an exam.
