Assumptions

Two approaches: Ask Copilot to generate a lot of boiler plate codes first time: PROS: Create a lot of structures that we probably need later CONS: Probably need to make a bunch of changes to make it work. Hard to make it into a tutorial. Good for: When you actually work for the real project Bad for: Make it a tutorial like format Ask Copilot to make incremental, graduate changes PROS: More predictable and easy to make it procedural steps CONS: Can take more time and strategy later Good for: Tutorial Bad for: Real project

We will choose the second approach because we want to make it a more procedural step-by-step approach.
